Wildlife Center Friends — Local services in Hopewell Township

I do animal control for a living and only go to this facility a couple times a year. I always use and perform the most humane methods when dealing with nuisance Wildlife. The last thing I need is to be interrogated each time I go here. I was told today by a member of the staff to release baby raccoons on a commercial property where raccoons have become a health hazard by entering cafeteria during the day time with employees working. I explained the situation that there are multiple animals and that this would just make the problem worst. The last thing I need is for the animals to go back into the facility that the company is paying me to get them out of. This is just a tip of the iceberg, I only drop of animals under difficult circumstances and each time have to listen to smart comments on what I should have done. I will no longer be bringing animals to this facility. I am tired of the staff trying to tell me how do my job when I have a license by The Game Commission. Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge is a great place to take animals, nicer facility , friendlier, and more knowledgeable about...

This place is not to rescue anyone but to stay in business for either a name or other unknown reasons.

Research your local area who may be compassionate and is willing to help since they are people who really will do everything to help the innocent. Some have proper equipment and experience too. Thank you all for caring and hopefully one day people won't see everting as business in order to...

My aunt and I took care of a newborn sparrow for a week, feeding it around the clock and keeping it warm. He was doing well, starting to grow feathers and open his eyes. So well that the receptionist taking him even told me how active and healthy he looked. We weren't able to call and check on him for two weeks but when we did, they said he didn't make it through his first night there. He died of hypothermia. Sparrows can't regulate their body temperature until they are at least 10 days old. It's crazy to me that they didn't put him under an incubation light to keep him warm being only 7 or 8 days old. I will never bring another...
