Local sanctuaries for less than loved animals
By Brittney MacDonald, Life & Style Editor
People love to help animals. However, we can get a little picky when it comes to what kind. An injured kitten or puppy? Sure! But what if it’s a lizard, snake, or bee? Some animals and insects, through no fault of their own, just give us the heebie-jeebies. That doesn’t mean that they’re any less important to the environment. Here’s a list of some organizations doing great things for our less-than-loved scary, scaly, or furry friends.
- Community Bat Programs of BC (bats)
- Honeybee Centre (bees)
- The Reptile Guy (reptiles and arachnids)
- Urban Safari Rescue Society (reptiles and arachnids)
- Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre (wolves)
- Wildlife Rescue Association of BC (wildlife)
- Grouse Mountain Grizzly Bear Habitat (bears)
- Northwest Wildlife Preservation Society (wildlife)
