Human - Wildlife Conflicts

Human - Wildlife Conflicts


If you have wild animals who get into your trash, house, or it seems as if they are invading your space, there are many humane solutions.

Trapping & either killing the animals or relocating them is not considered to be a humane or even permanent solution, since more animals of the same species are very likely to move into the same favorable habitat when others are removed. Please be aware that it is illegal to relocate many species of wildlife, even by professionals, so do not assume trapped animals will be relocated instead of killed. In addition, many relocated animals have poor survival rates.

Refer to the HSUS Wild Neighbors Website for free guidance (by species) for effective, humane solutions:
