Leave baby wild animals alone! - Catherine - 07-02-2016
It s a strong, but important message about wildlife. Leave the babies alone! They are not abandoned or in trouble.
When people pick them up and "rescue" them then the trouble begins. It ends badly often with the baby dying.

I think it is so sad that a new mother animal has to stand by helplessly while some human "rescues" her baby and steals it from her. Often she never sees it alive again. The baby has no chance of surviving and growing up.
Sometimes the worst thing humans do is want to help without finding out if help is needed.
