Again, I find myself asked the question, “Why don’t you let nature take its course?”

Our wildlife need our help and support.
Not because they are weak, or incapable of dealing with change, but because the change has been so intense, so fast, and without any precedence in nature, that the natural mechanisms that cope with change have been completely overwhelmed. We are in that cycle right now, actively denying nature any breathing space to recover. Very few times do I find myself ever attending a rescue with a cause you could ascribe to nature.

The Natural World has shown us its ability to recover from cataclysmic events. World wars, raging fires, floods and tsunamis, even species ending asteroid strikes. It always prevails, given an opportunity.

Wildlife face all manner of threats, and always has, but the balance of nature has always given them time to adapt and evolve.
Our flora and fauna are currently faced with their biggest ever threat, ironically the self proclaimed ‘most intelligent animal on the planet’, Homo Sapien. Our rampant destruction of habitat is the single biggest threat to Wildlife.

We must protect our world, and all within it. We are so wrapped up in artificial constructs we created, things that are not REAL, that we have completely lost sight of what we have, wonders that are very much real, and our responsibilities as custodians of it.

When did we become a society where the view from our window was so important that we would poison living, life supporting trees to “improve” it?

That the life of an animal meant so little, we could strike one with a car and simply drive on, leaving it to suffer?

That animals simply trying to survive in a nightmare solely of our creation, are the “pests”?

Bridgeport Juvenile Red Tailed Hawk has died…
Simply because he ate the rodents he was designed to consume. All because those rodents were poisoned by anticoagulant rodenticides. Rat/Mouse poison kills more than the rats/mice. The consequences of choosing poison is devastating our wildlife. Another lost victim of this barbaric, outdated, ineffective method of rodent control.

Some people spend their whole lives trying to fit in. Meanwhile, I'm over here making friends with the neighborhood possum and wondering why anyone would want to be normal in the first place.

Not everybody is going to understand your kind of weird, and that's perfectly fine. The right people will love you for exactly who you are.
