Feeding wildlife might seem like a good idea, but is it? 🤔 When you feed wild animals, you may harm the animals you intend to help! How? ⚠️ Human-sourced food may lack the nutrients wild animals need which can lead to malnutrition, bone deformation, and even death. ⚠️ When people feed wildlife, wild animals may become habituated, increasing the chances of negative human-wildlife encounters. Learn why wildlife feeding is not a good idea! https://animalkind.ca/wildlife-feeding/

Our Teen Summer Campers learned that bunnies spend more time in care than majority of our other residents, and took it upon themselves to help get them adopted. Here is one of the reels created by two of our campers to highlight Plum! In the words of the campers and creators of this video: "Plum is bonded to her bestie, Bunny Boop and they have been here for a while. They're waiting to be adopted and brought into their forever home. Right now, they live at the BCSPCA Nanaimo branch." If you are interested in learning more about Plum and Bunny Boop (or any of our other adorable adoptables), please check out www.spca.bc.ca/adopt
