A Sad Thing

Here at the Wildlife Center, we have a fresh water turtle that has become like a pet. It was released back into the park a couple of months ago. It's shell was painted to let the park rangers know that it was treated at the center. Anyway, we were told that it had been hit by a car when it was crossing the street. It died soon after that.
Thats one of the problems when you have wildlife in a park. There are always people who drive fast and who are not well versed on the population of wildlife.
We've had a lot of deer that have also been injured by traffic. And recently we've had a bunch of red tailed squirrel's nests that have been abandoned by the adults squirrels,so we've hand feeding the babies. They sort of look like kittens without fur. Their tiny.
Anyway, I guess it's good to have resources donated by people to treat, house and feed these injured animals.
