Guess the #1 mistake made when finding a wild baby? GIVING FOOD & WATER!

Wild babies are different than humans. What's ok for one can cause death in another! They have different digestive enzymes & need specialized formula, pre-hydration & care.

New (very handsome) intake!
There are such beautiful colour variations among Eastern Grey Squirrels!
This is a local fellow, found stunned on the road. He has a puncture wound on his right temple and an abrasion on his left knee; might have been caught then dropped by a bird.

HHWR's permanent residents, Holly & Pinery, hope you've been able to share isolation with a friend and stay cozy during this cold spell!

Permanent resident, Pinery, went for neuter surgery last week! He's recovering well, back in his enclosure with his friend Holly

This article is a great resource for those interested in learning more about the ways settler governments work for oil and gas companies, as opposed to how they work against the Indigenous nations they're supposedly reconciling with:

Coastal GasLink was given permits before these assessments were finished, because in Canada, the government of a province almost entirely built on unceded land has jurisdiction over the ppl who REALLY own that land.

And BC Oil & Gas Commission blamed this on... the Wet'suwet'en

[Alicia Elliott - AND THEN SHE FELL out now! @WordsandGuitar]

In an attempt to save this site from further destruction, the Wet'suwet'en gathered artifacts to prove it was an archaeologically important site, since that's the only way Indigenous ppl can situate our culture and history as valuable to settler governments. But BC didn't care.

[Alicia Elliott - AND THEN SHE FELL out now! @WordsandGuitar]

That's right: the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs gave *an alternate route* to Coastal GasLink. One they were okay with because it avoided ecologically pristine and culturally important areas.

And Coastal GasLink refused.

DO NOT let this info get lost in misleading rhetoric.
