Today’s post is written by Monte Merrick, wildlife rehabilitator and co-director of the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center/bird ally x in Arcata, CA. I happened to work at that facility, for International Bird Rescue at the Los Angeles Oiled Bird Care and Education Center , part of the Oiled Wildlife Care Network.

My friend Nina is an animal lover. She doesn’t use pesticides, she loves the local wildlife, and she does everything a good pet owner should do. All her pets are rescues. She keeps her cats inside. Unless she is accompanying her dog, he stays in a fenced-in area. But one day, unbeknownst to her, a wild rabbit dug under the fence.

This blog is written by writer, photographer, and animal advocate Ingrid Taylar. Years ago, I became a wildlife volunteer and advocate because of a cat who caught a bird. The wildlife center was an hour away if I was lucky. They pointed out the puncture wounds, likely infected with bacteria that could quickly kill.
