Do not let children handle wildlife - Protect yourself and the animal from injury or disease by using gloves or towels. Then, leave them alone. Wildlife are not pets - It is cruel to raise wildlife yourself; they need specialized care. If you find an injured animal, put it in a box with air holes, keep it warm, dark and quiet, and call a rehabilitator. Prevent pets from attacking wildlife - Domestic animal predation on wildlife is tremendous, especially cats; so keep them indoors. Pick up litter - Fishing line, plastics, batteries and cigarette butts are harmful. Moving wildlife is illegal - Live trapping and relocating nuisance wildlife is cruel and a potential health hazard.
