⚠️ Do you know how glue traps work?
Glue traps are not designed to kill, so when animals are trapped on them, they suffer for days and eventually die from dehydration, starvation or exhaustion, or may attempt to free themselves by chewing off their stuck limbs. 😢
Help stop cruelty! Say NO 🚫 to glue traps.

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!
