wildlife rescue centres

hi everybody.

some of you may have read my thread about a sick fox coming into my garden. at the time i was desperate to help this creature but wasnt sure of the best way to go about it. many people on this site offered me their expertise,advice and encouragement--for which i am extremely grateful.

however,id like to make special reference to the vale wildlife rescue centre in gloucestershire. the lady there was prepared to do all in her capacity despite not knowing me-and being some 240 miles away! i (and the vixen) are indebted to her.

part of the reason i had to accept her help was because here,in the n.e. of england,there just werent enough specialist rescue centres. of the 3 that there were, 1 has since had to close-down through lack of funding.


these centres do an enormous job in treating our sick and injured wildlife. the people working in them often do so unpaid. they rely solely on donations.

CAN I PLEASE ASK EVERYONE,THROUGH THESE PAGES,TO SEND A SMALL (OR LARGE!) DONATION TO ANY OF THESE RESCUE CENTRES.

i know 'times are hard' but they are especially so for these centres.
i have already sent mine.
we all profess to be keen on wildlife......if these places 'fold'-what then??

thank you
