WildLife
If you encounter a wild animal, leave it ALONE! Lots of times people think the baby animal has been abandoned, but the truth is the mother put the animal there for a reason and she will return and remove the animal when she feels it is safe. If you feel the animal has TRULY been abandoned or is obviously injured call the Animal Control Office or the Police immediately, and an officer will respond and remove the animal ONLY if it is clearly abandoned or injured. When people see a cute wild animal they are tempted to touch it, but please DO NOT TOUCH ANY WILD ANIMALS ! We ask you not touch the animal only for your and the animals safty, not because mother will smell human on it, that is an old wives tale that is 100% false, A Mother identifies her young by sound only, not scent. Picking up a wild animal can stress out the animal causing it to die. It is better off left alone till a professional wild life handler gets there or advises you what to do. If you encounter a young wild animal, leave it be and if it is still there in 24 hrs, then and only then it MAYbe safe to assume it has been abandoned. If you see a baby bird out of it's nest, you can scoop it up in a small box & place near or even in the tree where it's nest is and his mother will continue to feed him.
Belive it or not you are actually helping the animal more if you just leave it be. Sometimes it is worse off with a rehibilitator, it becomes stressed and can die. It is not cruel to leave it be and let nature take it's course, but it may be cruel to remove it from the wild where it belongs. If you need any further wildlife assistance, you may call New England Wildlife Center in S Weymouth, MA @ 1-781-682-4878 or check the internet under Mass Wildlife (Division Of Fisheries and Wildlife) for a list of local Wildlife Rehabilitators(www.masswildlife.org). $$$.
