beyond rehabilitation
Conflicts with wildlife usually occur when wild animals have access to areas or resources that humans would prefer they leave alone
Humane solutions involve determining what is attracting an animal to an area. Then removing or closing off access to that attractant. While these solutions may require a bit of ingenuity as well as flexibility, they tend to be more effective over the long term than lethally removing a wild animal. Trapping and relocating animals such as squirrels, raccoons, bears or geese is not as humane as you might think and is often illegal if done by members of the public. Furthermore, removing an animal instead of eliminating the attractant – will result in reoccurring conflict.
