Wild Life Is Important
Wildlife rehabilitation are committed to the treatment and subsequent release of indigenous wildlife in need. Estimates indicate over 75% of the animals cared for are affected in some manner by human activities. Nest tree destruction, vehicle collisions, unrestrained pets, illegal or legal wild pet trading, intentional or unintentional poisonings including oil contamination, window collisions, and non-target trapping or shooting result in wildlife distress.
- There are important emotional, economic and social reasons why humans need to experience wildlife and nature. We all need to kick back and breathe a little fresh air. Sometimes simply setting up a backyard bird feeder or taking a walk in the park is enough; at other times we seek more active pastimes such as canoeing, hiking, or wildlife photography.
