Wildlife Rescue - a short story

[chris37uk]

If this poor bird is released he will likely end up being shot by sadistic thugs with guns who call it 'sport.' Thanks for looking after him but hope you can build him a proper shelter and keep him as it will likely save his life.

Pheasants are mass reared and released into the countryside as living targets.

Lovely video and thank you for showing some appreciation of the work that wildlife rescues do to aid our British wildlife.

I work at The Sanctuary and your comment about donations is so true and never more so than this year. The recession and bad weather has hit us very hard we are struggling to find enough money to pay our feed bills for the coming winter. Already people are sending us food and donations towards helping the 157 animals in our care to be fed over the forthcoming winter.
