If you care, leave it there.
#1
A South Dakota wildlife official is trying to prevent more tragedies like the baby bison who died from being rescued. She is sending out the message about baby wildlife:  "If you care, leave it there".

Most "rescues" are not rescues because the baby was not in any distress. It was quietly waiting where its mother left it.
Every year people bring animals in to her that do not survive because they are rescued.

I hope the message gets out. People mean well, but they do more harm than good. I feel bad for the mothers who return to find their baby gone. Think of the distress they must feel. They chose a safe place, but it wasn't safe from human interference.
