🎃Halloween is coming up fast!!! 🎃

Please please make sure all straps to those plastic Halloween buckets get cut and disposed of properly in the recycle bin!

Juvenile box are very curious little fellas, and they stick their head in those buckets and then they get their buttons stuck over the strap and then they have a bucket stuck on their head.

So for the sake of our curious, little young bucks, please let’s be proactive!
Remember once that bucket gets stuck on their face, they can’t eat or drink. Breathing is also hard. So let’s take care of our wildlife while we take care of ourselves.

And no – DNR will not do anything about that. Their choice is to let the animals suffer and starve. And we don’t agree with that. So if they don’t want to do something about it – WE WILL!!!!
The video below is of Bucky one lucky fella!!!

Let’s ALL have a great Halloween 🎃 our little ghost and goblins!!! is the time of our people!!!

DNR has heard our plea, for now, the lives of those babies are again, for now. Safe.

We still have a fight ahead of us but we will stand with Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary.

Right. By. Their. Side.

Rescue strong. Rescue together

IMPORTANT CASE UPDATE!

In the past year and a half, filled with uncertainty and concern regarding the helpless angels that we’ve given sanctuary to, for no fault of their own, we are very happy to share this good news that we received a short time ago today.

Please understand that our fight is far from over, and we will continue to be a voice for the voiceless!

We have it on the word (and writing) of the DNR spokesman, that the DNR is willing to work with us on licensing and permit requirements. This was all we had asked from the beginning, and have shown good faith along the entire way.

As I mentioned in a previous post, when government and people work together, so much more can be accomplished. They don’t understand we pay them, and we expect nothing more than a collaboration of efforts. We don’t pay them to come after us, we pay them to listen to our concerns and work together accordingly. We don’t give them supernatural powers with our tax dollars, we give them employment and the respect to do the right thing, and not to abuse that authority.

We sincerely hope they keep their word and we can work together and create unthinkable results.

We are the stewards of God’s creatures, not their captors. They are not here for our abuse, but our protection.

Until we hear further, the trial itself is still set for early December, after it was postponed from yesterday. We sincerely pray that we get great news on that as well, which will allow us to continue our efforts, with proper status, with unburdened concerns.

Thank you all for your support, and please don’t stop now. Never stop progress in motion, as it is difficult to regain momentum. Let’s just all continue to speak out against immoral persecution, as countless helpless creatures, are depending on us.

Please continue to follow for the latest updates on this situation, and for our wonderful stories about domestic rescues as we continue on.

These are the lives DNR wants to kill. All because they need a piece of paper.

I think these lives are worth more than a piece of paper.

But what do I know. 😔

Many animals at the Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary have been ordered to be euthanized because of permit disputes.

None of these animals are ill, pose a public danger, or are suffering.

This rescue organization has spent their savings trying to fight in court.

Something is not right when people have to fight against the government to save the lives of animals.

Please urge Governor Whitmer to intervene. Governor Whitmer appoints the head of the DNR. Please ask Attorney General Dana Nessel to stop the waste of Michigan tax payer money on these frivolous court cases. Please ask the DNR to drop their persecution and focus on compassionate management.

Please reach out NOW and ask them to:
- Grant a reprieve. Allow the other non-releasable animals to remain in safe educational or sanctuary homes.
- Allow educational/sanctuary placements without arbitrary deadlines.
- Create a fair process for evaluating unique cases and appeals by rescue organizations.
- Stop the prosecution and issue whatever permits or licenses are needed for these organizations to continue their crucial work.
- Put our tax money towards better use.

Ask them to prioritize common sense and compassion over bureaucracy.

Phone calls have more weight than emails. Please call! Or even better do both! But if you can’t call, at least email.

This little baby is waayyyyy too small to be in his own right now. We found another sibling at the same spot a few days ago, so when we saw this guy, we knew it was a sibling.

His sibling is already off to a rehabber and luckily this guy is going to be reunited with him tonight!

We used a small kitten trap for this lil fella and he’s soooooo cute.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind .
