Not everyone agreed with each other; but unlike today, people didn't get beaten just because they had a difference of opinion.

DNREC Reminds Delawareans: 'If You Care, Leave Them There’ Look but don’t touch, much less disturb – and even then, just a quick glance and be on your way – that’s theDepartment of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s message to Delawareans likely to see young wildlife in their backyards or almost anywhere in the outdoors this time of year.

Taking or “rescuing” a young wild animal from the wild almost inevitably means that it will not survive. Thus, the entreaty from DNREC’s Division of Fish and Wildlife: “If you care, leave them there.” While some young animals can appear to be abandoned, most often they are not, with their mothers often in close proximity waiting for the person who “discovered” their offspring to...
