I'll tell you, the WEST helpline has been demoralizing lately.
So few people follow the directions in our greeting (send a pic and the area of town where the animal is located - that's it! That's all ya gotta do!). People trap mamas and are in a panic because they are left with the orphans. Or they send an address and say something like, "Go get this animal or something is going to kill it."
So when someone simply calls, sends a photo and location (NOT the street address), then brings you the animals and takes your advice (in this case, keep the dog on a leash until the bunnies disperse), I can't tell you how grateful I am. And relieved.
Thanks to Amanda for doing all of the above today. Her dog found a bunny nest and two babies were injured, so she brought them to me. The remaining babies were returned to the nest and she'll keep it covered and her dog on a leash until the bunnies have dispersed in a couple of weeks or so.
It's not hard to be a good human. You just have to be willing to tolerate a little bit of inconvenience!
