Spring Reminder from DNR: Keep Wildlife Wild

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is sharing some reminders on encountering wildlife this spring. 

Officials say it is important to “keep wildlife wild” and never try to care for an undomesticated animal if you don’t have the expertise.  DNR officials say they field receives many calls from people this time of year who may see a young animal alone and incorrectly assume it has been abandoned by its mother or orphaned.  Wildlife should be left alone in order to ensure health and safety for both animals and people, according to experts.  If you are very concerned about an animal that seems to be sick or injured the best course of action is to keep your distance, take pictures or notes, and call DNR.
