Police advise against ‘rescuing’ wildlife

With the weather warming up, Connecticut State Environmental Police are cautioning people not to interfere with wildlife. In a post on its Facebook page, the police reminded state residents that not every animal left alone is orphaned “as their mother will leave their young to go forage for food.” The post state a recent case involving a piebald deer that wandered onto a construction site. “Our officer was able to gently push this animal back into the wood line without incident where it could be reunited with its mother,” the post said. Even if an animal is orphaned, people shouldn’t interfere with the creature, but should contact proper authorities.
