Overview
The division responds to a wide variety of animal related calls:
- Land mammals
- Bird species
- Marine mammals
Animal Treatment
Animals are evaluated and monitored by staff for sickness or injuries. If determined sick or injured, the animal is taken to a rehabilitation clinic where its symptoms are treated. If nothing else can be done, it is euthanized.
Education
Many times the Division's response to animal related calls is to educate the public about the animal's behavior and how to successfully co-exist with them.
For public safety reasons, as well as the animals’ well-being, we ask that people not feed wildlife.
