Go to the Defenders of Wildlife website to Take Action for Panthers. According to the DoW Take Action alert, “Florida panthers once prowled and flourished in America’s southeastern woodlands and swamps, but today fewer than 160 of these majestic cats remain in a tiny remnant of their historic range. And that habitat is shrinking every day – gobbled up by subdivisions and commercial development.
We’re in a race against time. As panther habitat becomes more and more fragmented, it will be increasingly difficult for these creatures to stay out of harm’s way.”

Have you ever used rat poison to get rid of a rodent problem, even as a last resort? I have and I will never use it again, thanks to an article I read on NorthJersey.com entitled “An Owl’s death in Ridgefield Park points up dangers of rat poison”. Not only are owls dying at a staggering rate, but hawks and all other wildlife that rely on rodents as part of their diet are being poisoned. Trapping is probably your safest and best option, so let’s save these beautiful birds together!
