Caring for the wild
By JACK RIDDELL
MPP Huron -Middlesex -
Now that summer Is byre,
and school is out, more and
more of our young people
are encountering wild birds
and animals - especially
when on vacation in the
country side, or by the lakes,
away from the urban en-
vironment.
Ministry of Natural
Resources offices
throughout the province
frequently receive telephone
calls or visits from people
who want advice about deal-
ing with animals or birds
which have been hurt or cap-
tured in some way.
Typical of the type of calla
received are the following,
reported 'by a Conservation
Officer in the Niagara area.
"My kitty caught a little
bird. I took it away from her
and it's all right. What can I
do with it now?" "My
children found a baby rabbit.
and brought it home. What
do I feed it?""I put the
fawn back where I found it
and watched for the mother.
but she didn't come back.
Will you come and get it?"
Of course, most people
like animals and birds, es-
pecially the young "cute"
ones. With the' best of inten-
tions. they rescue birds and
small animals which may or
may not really be lost or
strayed, or have been in-
jured by an accident with a
car or by another animal.
Often after a few en-
joyable and interesting
hours of admiring their -new -
pet, they realize that they
don't have the proper food or
facilities, or they don't have
the time for the necessary
regular two-hour feeding on
a 24 hour a day basis.
Realizing that the
Ministry of Natural
Resources protects wildlife
and has an interest in the
welfare of animals and
birds, they place a call to the
nearest Ministry office, in
the hope that the problem
will be solved for them.
Often the response which
they receive from the
Ministry Official is disap-
pointing. Most members of
the Ministry joined the staff
because of an abiding in-
terest in true conservation
and a love of all the things of
nature. However, they know
that what people are
sometimes motivated to do
by sentiment or emotion is
not necessarily the wisest
course. This is particularly
true in the case of
"foundling" wild animals.
Almost invariably. a
caller is told to place the
fawn, the baby rabbit or the
little 'bird as close to its
original nest or hiding place
as 'possible, then go away
and leave it alone. They are
advised not to stay in the
vicinity, waiting for the
mothef to return, or until
the little creature seems
able to take care of itself.
There are, needless to say, a
number of valid reasons for
the attitude taken by the
Ministry people.
The primary reason for
leaving the area is to allow
the mother time and privacy
to return. For example, if a
fawn is returned to the
hayfield where it had been
disturbed by the mower, the
doe will probably be in the
vicinity and not too far
away. However, she will not
return to her young one if
people or machines are in
the area. In fact some hours
may go by - it mayeven,be
after dark - before she ven-
tures forth.
There are, of course,
cases where the mother is
kilted or simply abandons
her "baby". What happens
in these circumstances?
What can be done? Frankly,
not a rare deal There a e

A veterinarian is trained
to treat domestic animals,
although he or she may offer
some feeding advice where
a wild animal or bird is con-
cerned. A zoo is essentially
for captive animals, rather
than injured or abandoned
wild ones. -
Another fact which must
always be borne in mind is
that if a baby bird or animal
does survive thee,- irregular
feeding and unudualfood of
its human foster parents,
then it becomes ''im-
printed" by humans. This
means that it is partly
domestic, accustomed to be-
ing fed and protected.
It is not, and almost cer-
tainly will never become
again, self-sufficient and
able to survive in a wild

habitat. What happens when
winter comes and It is
necessary to protect the
creature against the cold
weather? Fe, people are
prepared to bring these wild
"pets" into the house on a
more or less permanent
basis.
The best advice given to
people by those who are con-
cerned with the protection
of wildlife Is that if you find
animals or birds - especially
young ones - abandoned or
apparently lost, you should
leave them alone. Almost in-
variably; they become
reunited with their
"families" if given time and
privacy to do so.
Creatures who appear in-
jured or sick will usually
either improve on their own,
or death will come. If this

happens, it is probable that
it would have been in-
evitable even with the best
of treatment.
Ministry of Natural
Resources' staff advise par-
ticular caution in dealing
with an apparently sick or
injured creature. Although
not every "sick" animal is
rabid, the possibility cannot
be overlooked, and rabies is
a serious disease which is
carried by mammals. If. an
animal is usually tame, or
acts sickly or aggressively,
leave it alone - for your own
sake.
The Health of Animals'
people do not wish - to -ex-
, • amine it for rabies unless
there has been actual con-
tact between it ,and a
domestic animal or human.
If this has not occurred the
animal can simply be dis-
posed of or buried.
The advice offered by
Ministry officials is neither
callous or unfeeling. It is
based on the experience and
knowledge of the people
whose main job is the
'protection of our wilt'flife
heritage.

pionship in one of four
classes judged at the recent
Ontario Pork Progress in
Stratford.
The local farmer's entry in
the lightweight division for
weaner pigs was the best
from among approximately
20 entries. A pen of six was
judged in each of the four
classes.
The winning pigs,
weighing about 45 pounds
each, were purchased by
Master Feeds for $165 each.
