Station Fire forces the Wildlife WayStation to Evacuate All Animals

The news coming from Los Angeles the last week have been particularly difficult to watch.  The wild fires have been raging across the Angeles Crest Forest putting at risk both people and animals.

As some of you may have seen and heard on various news outlet, the Wildlife Waystation staff have been working hard to protect all their animal residents.   Nested in Little Tujunga Canyon in the Angeles Crest Forest, the Wildlife Waystation is in a vulnerable position against the Station Fire.  The unimaginable happened and all the animals have had to be evacuated in a record time.

Moving stressed wild animals is no easy task. It is dangerous and it requires the expertise of skilled professionals.  Despite all the help provided by generous volunteers and people who care about this 30 year old institution, the Wildlife Waystation has incurred huge costs to rent equipment and temporarily relocate its animals to various institutions.

The Wildlife Waystation and its residents need us today.  They need our help to recover from the devastation the Station Fire is leaving behind it.  This is the only safe heaven these animals know. This is their home.  It is the only place they can finish the rest of their lives after serving years in labs for research, acting in movies or being treated as commodities.

Please make a donation online today at the Wildlife Waystation website.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide to this wonderful institution and the many wonderful animals who live there, some of whom I consider "friends".
