Conservationists Against Suburban White Women Wildlife Saviors
Tis the season of baby animals.
If you believe in conservation, you have a duty to actively combat the savior complex, which can be found anywhere but is inarguably predominant in the demographic stated above.
If you are in a neighborhood Facebook group, the posts are imminent or have already started.
Quail “abandoned” the eggs in her yard and she’s asking how to “save” them?
Deer fawn is “all alone” in the back yard?
Don’t be shy to speak up. Let her know she isn’t a doe. She isn’t a quail hen. She is ill equipped to mother baby wildlife.
Make sure she understands that many wildlife species are game species with state laws protecting them. Most bird species are protected by federal law.
Don’t be afraid to cite them with links or even call law enforcement if needed.
I once turned someone in for removing an owl from the wild that needed “saving”. USFWS made a great example of the person.
Together we can reduce the number of kidnapped wild animals.
