Nature News - A monthly e-publication from Liberty Wildlife

Last year in October a flammulated owl was brought into the Liberty hospital, all tangled in that fake white spider web material that we are so fond of using to decorate our yards at Halloween. There was a black plastic spider also tangled in the mess that had ensnared the tiny owl. Without the kind intervention of the human who found him, this owl would have died.

As we approach the end of the year, we want to make an appeal to those of you who find room in your heart and your pocketbook to give to a charity of your choice (and, we hope we are on your list).

The more humans spread out across the face of the planet, the more issues occur involving our interface with the wild community. When the pioneers first arrived from back east, they knew instinctively that they were moving into territory that was the home of animals that were not domesticated, and they adapted to this.

Wild Creatures

In late October, the generous 4th and 5th graders from Aztec Elementary School held a Dance for a Cause. They called it the Wild Creature Masquerade Dance, and planned to donate the proceeds to help Liberty Wildlife feed our animals. Many students came to the after-school dance in their Halloween costumes, and a great DJ provided the music. There was pizza, soda and lollipops to add to the enjoyment.

Liberty had brought some education animals out to Aztec last spring for an evening open house, and the kids had decided this was a cause they believed in. The turnout for the dance was huge, and the DJ decided to donate his time. Aztec Elementary ended up raising over $700 for Liberty Wildlife! This will provide lots of chicken and mice for recuperating animals that will someday return to the wild, thanks in part to the Wild Creature Masquerade Dance. Thank you, Aztec Elementary!
