You can find out more by visiting/signing up for the wildlifeontario mailing list.

If the MNR were really doing their job, there would be proper rehabbers to drop animals off at in the first place! 
but it instead is increasingly difficult, and the rehabbers that do exist despite the difficult regulations often have to turn away animals because they don't have the capacity.

A friend passed this on to me, please sign the petition

"Folks,

Some of you may have seen the widespread  media coverage yesterday in the newspaper and television regarding an orphaned baby deer that was found by the side of a country road  a couple of years ago by a retired Greely couple, Bruce and Christina Straby.  The Straby's  took this little girl in and have raised her to become a lovely doe named BamBam.  Had they not done this she would have been left to starve to death in a lonely deserted ditch  by the side of the road.  I have known this couple personally for fifteen years and they are devoted animal lovers who have farmed their entire lives and are animal savvy.   They  wanted nothing more than to continue to care for BamBam.  

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has now removed BamBam from Bruce and Christina and has placed her at Papanak Zoo, penned in with a buck.  A dead cow lies on it's side within the Zoo's confines; the Zoo's owner plans to have it cut up to be be used to feed stray cats.  The conditions are not ideal to say the least.  To make matters worse, it's mating season and the buck penned in with BamBam is aggressive towards her, creating quite a culture shock situation for the poor thing.   She has gone from tender loving care to being forced to flee this aggressive male.

An online petition has been created to apply pressure to the Ministry of Natural Resources to reverse their decision to remove BamBam from the only home she's ever known.  I urge all of you to read BamBam's story, and, if you agree, add your name to the petition.  Also, please tell your friends about BamBam's plight.  Let's bring the little girl home for Christmas, where she belongs!"

Dave
