It’s springtime, which means another reminder to LEAVE YOUNG WILDLIFE ALONE: A Thread. (1/5)

Each year, we receive an increase of calls and office
visits from people reporting they “rescued” young wildlife that appeared “abandoned” by adult animals. Please don’t be this person. #KeepWildlifeWild (2/5)

Wildlife experts agree it’s normal for animals to leave their young in safe places while they search for food. A doe, for example, will go off for hours or even a day or two, leaving its fawn curled up in the grass, hiding in plain sight. #KeepWildlifeWild (3/5)

If you’ve seen young wildlife that’s been alone for a day or two and are concerned it’s abandoned, call a CPW office. We will work with a certified wildlife rehabilitation center to get aid for the wildlife, if possible. Do not move the animal. #KeepWildlifeWild (4/5)
