Partners in Animal Rescue
A partnership and network of people dedicated to working together in a drama free community to save the lives of shelter animals.
PLEASE do not harm wildlife that are simply looking to survive in a world where HUMANS have destroyed so much of their habitat. π
Opossums are NOT an animal to fear.

Poor mama opossum with 7 babies in her pouch. She was harmed by humans for the 'crime' of eating the cat food that they left out. She is thin and was having a hard time managing in the wild until she found the food. And was then punished for trying to survive.
She is now on antibiotics for her injuries (looks like she was shot) And we are giving her all the food she wants in a form that the babies can also eat at this stage. So they can eat freely also, without draining all the nutrition from this poor, skinny mama.
BTW, she is most grateful for the help and has allowed me to feel all over her body for injuries, etc. She is able to stand and move around, but is feeling bad due to the infection and her low body weight. Her cooperation lets me know how happy she is to be somewhere safe where the food will keep coming with no negative repercussions.
If you do NOT want lyme disease, then be kind to your backyard opossums who eats thousands of ticks each year, removing the major source of transmission of that disease. They also remove dead things that can also spread illness to humans and other animals. Just leave them alone and let them do their job.
And if you don't want them eating your cat/dog food, then don't leave it out. Just set it out at set times for your pets to eat and then take it up. You pets will figure out the schedule and no wildlife will be harmed, simply because they didn't understand that they shouldn't eat the tasty food that you offered.
"This is a dead honeybee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.
Itβs spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from w**d killer spread on what we see as w**ds, but what nature sees as food. Please donβt spray for w**ds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, w**ds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June. There are FAR more w**ds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us and we all starve."

This is so sad!!! π
"My husband grew up in New England where they have pigeons. Apparently they also hate them. He was always saying bad things about pigeons until I pointed something out that he never thought of before.
We domesticated pigeons. They are (nearly) all over the world because HUMANS BROUGHT THEM THERE. And, they were more than pets. They carried messages. People raced them. They lived spoiled lives as honored human companions for centuries.
Then we got telephones and we threw them out like trash.
Literally, we threw them away.
Their species had already been fully domesticated and they could not survive in the wild; they lost all their survival instincts during the centuries that they lived caged by people.
That is why they live in cities with people instead of in a forest somewhere. It's OUR fault. And not only did we throw them away, but now humans curse them as "winged rats;" casting them as pests.
But they don't know how to live without us, and their instincts tell them that they should trust us. So, they continue to come up to humans and beg for food, because it's the only survival skill left in their genes.
They love us because they were bred by us to feel that way, and yet we hate them."
Bees are such amazing creatures! Don't forget... we would die without them! π
