If you see any seabirds in strange or inland locations right now, you can oddly enough blame algae.

The algae at fault here is called Pseudo-nitzschia, which produces a kainic acid-type neurotoxin known as domoic acid (DA). At first, DA builds up in prey animals, like shellfish, sardines, and anchovies. Then, as predators hunt and eat, DA moves up the food chain. In small concentrations, there isn’t much of a problem. However, when there are times of rapid onset algae blooms, the levels of DA skyrocket to dangerous levels. The current increased bloom is likely a result from the toxic ash washed into our oceans from the Southern California fires.

In people, ingestion of DA leads to amnesic shellfish poisoning. In birds, DA can cause imbalance, difficulty with walking and flying, and seizures. Domoic acid poisoning in wildlife can be lethal if left untreated.

That’s where you and I come in. Please keep your eyes out for any wildlife showing signs of distress or appearing in places where they normally wouldn’t, such as pelicans on the street. Report all injured and ill animals as soon as possible. Take a picture and get GPS coordinates if possible.

PLEASE STOP USING POISONS! 🚫☠️
When you use poison, you are causing immense prolonged suffering and killing more creatures than you know!

We can do better, Humans!
There are alternatives.
Search for humane alternatives to rat poison.
Companies like Ecola have an alternative service as well.

We have recently received several baby great-horned owls. At this age, they often jump out of the nest. The parents continue to feed them on the ground. And given a little time, they can hop and flutter into the branches.

They look helpless, but Mom and Dad are watching. If anything comes near, the parents will protect the baby.

Please don’t kidnap them. We can raise them to be healthy and strong, but their parents will teach them the skills they need to survive better than we can.

For more information or to donate, please visit our website at StanislausWildlife.org.

Oh, my heart hurts for those affected and unable to move through their grief in an organic way. Something like this should NEVER occur with this tender process.

Whatever the truth is, this is awful and this company will never be trusted.

😞

Outrage and disbelief as local families hand their deceased pets over to a cremation company, only to get nothing in return and never hear from the company again.

This is in motion! 🤬
Are you angry yet?!
We can use this energy to do good!

If you are someone who enjoys and values your time in nature…who cares in any way about the beauty and importance (on so many levels) of how these natural environments so monumentally support the lives of soooooo many creatures…value and believe in protecting our magnificient ancient oxygen-producing and home-providing trees…protecting the rights and jobs of the stewards who dedicate their lives to the protection and respectful order of these lands…who honors our sacred native lands and its indigenous peoples… and/or anchoring preservation and protection of these special magical healing places and its creatures for future generations to come…

…I really hope we choose to not sit quiet and actionless! We can bring our beautiful hearts to the forefront! We can teach children how to coexist, protect, and respect this precious earth and her living beings!

We need to bond together to do all we can to stop this devastating wheel of greed from desecrating our protected natural lands!
Precious lives are at risk!

PLEASE TAKE ACTION IN ALL WAYS TO STAND UP TO THESE ATROCITIES!

Don’t think your voice doesn’t matter! Together our voice and collective heartbeat is loud! We need the numbers! We need those who care enough to do more, and now is the time to step up for the voiceless! PROTECT OUR FORESTS AND LANDS!
