Thank you for such a well-produced, educational glimpse into the hidden steps you take for the sake of their wildness.

Thank you for the question about ear tags. When the injured or orphaned animals come to PAWS, we sometimes tag their ears to tell them apart while they're living together in their enclosures. This reduces stress on the animals while they are in our care, because we don't have to come into physical contact with them to tell them apart. After they are released, the ear tags help us to keep track of them - sometimes rangers spot the deer and can update us on their health and wellbeing.

Thank you for allowing us to share. You do important work. Why did one deer still have a tag in her ear?

PAWS does such good work. We are so fortunate to have them in the area.
