POACHERS


These animals could be extinct because of us, but we can also help. Pollution, habitat loss, introduction to new species, and hunting causes them to be extinct. You can provide space in your backyard for animals to live. You can keep dead wood. Bugs may live in it, but birds and lizards live there and eat them. Have birdbaths, but keep it away from bushes to avoid cats. Avoid pest controls because they will kill the animals. Build a bat house. You may not like bats, but they're living pest controls. Cut containers and rings apart. Animals will get caught in the 6-pack rings and the containers will choke them. Pick up trash. Animals can eat them and choke. Clean up anti-freeze. Animals are attracted to the sweet taste, but it is poison to them. provide an escape route if you have a pool. Many animals drown in them. Tie a towel or rope to theside so they can escape. Finally, you can donate to fundraisers or animal welfare organisations. Bucks4bucks is a fundraiser you can donate to. WWF, International Animal Rescue, IFAW, Oceana, and Denver Wild Animal Sanctuary are some animal welfare organizations. Remember, you can make a difference and help these poor, innocent creatures.
