Wayward Wild Ones

This is so utterly painfully criminally wrong!

It both breaks my heart and angers me to an extent I can’t quite describe to announce that
yesterday, the Massachusetts House of Representatives did not adopt Amendment #10 to the Mass Ready Act - which is legislation that would have phased out the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) statewide. The House of Ways and Means did not include it.

There are supposed to be multiple municipalities responsible for protecting our wildlife here in Massachusetts and every one of them has heard from their wildlife rehabbers, wildlife clinics, veterinarians and many, many members of the public about the plethora of animals dying from secondary rat poisoning.

What have they done to protect our wildlife from this??? Absolutely nothing. The suffering and deaths of our predator species continue to mount and hearts of Massachusetts citizens continue to break due to the indifference of those in power to make a change.

Pest control companies continue to profit millions off of these poisons while the financial burden of helping the non target species affected falls on your local non profit animal rescues.

The state allots $0 to help treat all the wildlife affected by these poisons.

This is happening - every day, right under our noses.

Disappointing doesn’t even begin to describe it…

Here they come marching one by one....

We have had to stop taking raccoons. I am completely maxed and it's just so expensive to raise them. I am up to 14!
All donations are accounted for for caging, formula, food and healthcare.
The more help from supporters the more raccoons (and other wildlife because even though I am focusing on raccoons I never leave an orphan or injured baby without help) I can help.
Thank you all for following, sharing and donating when you can 💕🐾
Here are some additional animals we helped this week

Morning playtime after feeding before they all get their distemper vaccines

I went through 8lbs of formula in 10 days! Just had to order the 20lb this morning!!

Thanks to amazing humans like Adam and Danielle this is possible and doesn't hit as hard as it would have but still OUCH!

We also ordered vaccines for the raccoons. Rabies and canine distemper. These babies deserve the best after becoming orphans at such a precious young age.

Thank god for donations like this but sadly we need more!!
All rehabbers are volunteers and this is on our dime. We are not paid or reimbursed by the state.
If you can even spare $1 it helps.

End my sad Monday begging.
Cute raccoon pic for tax and the liquid gold I just bought
