Rescuing wild animals can
be a dangerous undertaking in any circumstances.
A terrified Great Blue Heron, for example, may attack a rescuer's eyes with
its beak. Please leave rescues to persons who have
been trained for this highly
specialized work. If you see
an injured wild animal, call
the Center at 941-484-9657.
On Saturday afternoon, April 20, the
Center dispatched two volunteer
rescue specialists, Jan Stebel, a Siesta Key resident, and Jessi Leis.
Jessi Leis and Jan Stebel assess damages to Charlie. While cutting off filaments, they see two fishing
hooks embedded in both his feet.
