The San Diego Humane Society recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony, celebrating the opening of a center to care for wildlife. The center is named in honor of Pilar and Chuck Bahde.
Approximately 12,000 abandoned and injured animals come to the society every year through the Project Wildlife program. The program helps thousands of these animals, such as ducks and squirrels, recuperate, be rehabilitated, and survive in the wild. Facilities like this can help people understand their programs by using brochure printing.
Project Wildlife’s veterinarians will find a dedicated home at the Pilar & Chuck Bahde Wildlife Center, which has been designed with a number of different habitats that have been engineered to help injured animals heal more quickly by reducing stress.
Although they may seem cute, cuddly, or adorable, wild animals do not make good pets, and should not be kept as such, for many reasons. Wild baby animals don’t eat the same foods as domestic pets, and without proper nutrition, they will not thrive. In addition, they have to grow and develop with others of their kind, or it may not know how to behave, which can place them in danger. Finally, wild animals may have diseases they can pass on to domestic animals.
Pilar and Chuck Bahde are local philanthropists, and this is the second time the Humane Society has named a facility after them. The first, the Center for Shelter Medicine, opened late last year.
