ODNR officials: Leave wildlife alone

Columbus

Each year, Ohio Department of Natural Resources officials offer this simple advice: Enjoy wildlife from a distance and leave young animals alone. Wild animals are born to live their lives in the wild, and sometimes good intentions can hurt their chances of survival.

A young, wild animal’s best chance for survival is with its mother. Most wildlife taken in by people do not survive, except when handled by specially trained personnel. In many cases, a young animal collected by a person was not lost or abandoned, but was simply waiting for a parent to return.
