LEAVE ANY SNAKE YOU SEE ALONE!

No matter how dangerous a snake is, it becomes harmless if you stay away from it.

Trying to k!ll snakes is what gets people bitten as the snake will try to defend itself.

If the snake can't be left alone- e.g it's inside your house or other place where humans frequent, call a snake remover.

We don't often post photos of owls that have been killed, but every now and then we feel it's important to remind people the harm that rodent poisons cause. This beautiful Verreaux Eagle Owl that we attempted to rescue this afternoon leaves behind her mate and two owlets.
Rodenticides cause immeasurable damage to wildlife and contrary to whatever literature they have printed on the packaging, rat poison doesn't discriminate, it kills whatever consumes it.

It has been one year since our founder and animal hero Rico Pentz passed away tragically. Rico would say to us the dream and the work isn't done yet, so in loving memory of Rico we ask that our supporters please make a donation in Rico's name to the Owl Orphanage.

Today is the birthday of our legendary Rico Pentz - founder of Helderberg Wildlife Rescue.

He's no longer with us but his legacy lives on in the many lives he touched.

In celebration of his life and his fist birthday not here with us, I'd like to ask that you'd gift an organisation in your area - where ever you live. Here by us in the Helderberg there is AWS, Heartlands Baby Centre, Somerset West Shelter, Farm Paws, HART, Township Rescue, Giraffe House, Exotic Animal World and various others. A blanket, food, physical help, what ever your heart tells you.

Not a day goes by that we don't miss him. Never will he be forgotten

Happy birthday beautiful Rico.... Wildlife expert, husband, father, son and brother.

You remain bitterly loved and respected

With great sadness I need to share that my husband Rico Pentz passed away on Sunday the 21st of Jan 2024 after being bitten by a cobra. The loss is so incredibly deep for all of us who have known him and love him and it's a huge loss to animal rescue.

He was a pioneer, an admirable, absolutely beautiful, very controversial human being who wanted nothing more than the best interest of animals. As his life partner who knew him like nobody else, I know it came from such a pure and passionate place. We are so proud of him.

I need to reiterate something that was very important to him. I was with him until he passed, I held him when he gave his last breath. I can assure you, his passion for all animals remained the same. Snakes fulfil a very important role in the eco system. We need them. Rico fought very hard for the wellbeing of snakes and every other kind of animal regardless if they are domestic, wildlife or farm animals. They all feel. They all fear. They all want to live unharmed....

May his legacy live on...

His memorial will be public - details here:
