Firefighters Rescue a Litter of Puppies—But Make a Surprising Mistake

Encounters with wildlife

To avoid unwanted encounters with wild animals, certain precautions are necessary. Never feed wild animals, as this can make them used to humans and lead to dangerous situations. Keep pet food inside and in sealed containers to avoid attracting wildlife.
It is also important to secure your home. Seal any cracks or holes larger than a quarter inch to prevent entry by bats, snakes, rats, or mice. Regularly inspecting your home helps you detect and fix these vulnerabilities.
