How can How can you helpyou help wildlife wildlife ??

Please remember, you should not automatically

pick up or approach injured wildlife. Certain animals should only be handled

by experienced rescuers, particularly if they are ill or injured. Disturbing animals could lead to further injury and you could put yourself

at risk of bites or attacks as well.

Many times, the finder provides an animal’s only

chance of getting the help it needs. If you must intervene, the first step

in a wild animal rescue is the capture. Before taking action, however, remem-ber that wild animals are

easily frightened and may attack once cornered. Visit www.CROWClinic.org to

see how to protect yourself and the animal.
