@wildforlife: Time for my annual re-sharing of this very important message! Across much of North America right now, nature is awakening from its winter slumber (sure, here in New York we're still under feet of snow, but I promise spring isn't that far away!) and that means phones are about to start ringing off the hook at wildlife rescues all across the land, with calls about orphaned and injured baby animals. 🐰🐿️🐣 Many of these animals are not actually orphaned, and calling your local wildlife rehabilitators can help prevent a mother's heartbreak and her children being kidnapped. But some of these animals really do need our help, and it's our collective responsibility to make sure we are providing the right help and not causing more harm. Please do not offer food or water to a struggling baby animal without first consulting a wildlife rehabilitator! Although well-intentioned, the results can be deadly. Now is the time to prepare your wildlife emergency checklist, so you're ready before you need it! Keeping a small animal carrier or cardboard box, blanket or towel, hand warmers, and both exam gloves and protective bite resistant gloves in your car, can make sure that you were prepared to safely assist in a wildlife emergency 🚨 The most important thing to have at the ready is a list of contacts for local wildlife rehabilitators and veterinarians who assist with wildlife! @animalhelpnowapp Animal Help Now is a free app that you can download on your phone today in case a wildlife emergency arises, to quickly find a wildlife rehabilitator located near you. Have these contacts handy before you need them! Being prepared can save a wild life! 💚 #wildliferehabilitation #wildliferescue #rescuerehabrelease #wildforlifeinc #wildliferehab
