USA: Alabama suggests not to save baby raccoons

Leave a Comment
Raccoons are among the wild animals injured by hunters, which people more welcome and care in Alabama, in the United States. But this State reported recently to the animal advocacy groups that should leave some species to abandon â€" including wild pigs, bats, opossums and raccoons rightly. The aim, according to the authorities, is to keep his anger under control.

"There is no biological reason to rehabilitate these animals," said Ray Metzler, Assistant Chief of wildlife of the Department of conservation and natural resources of Alabama. "People need to learn to let nature take its course."

The nature and its course, however, are being disturbed by threats very unnatural, like trees felled to clear the land and new roads that increasing car traffic. These are strong causes of death of mothers who, in turn, delivered to your luck helpless chicks.

Wildlife advocates remain committed to save these orphans and other injured animals. "If someone brings me a raccoon baby, I'm not going to put it away," said one of the handlers, according to Grist. "It's a death sentence."

The handlers blame the culture of hunting as a promoter of the anti-guaxinim movement that's taking care of the State. Argue that it is precisely this mentality that has led to the suggestion by the State not to rescue animals in distress.
