Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue encouraging through knowledge a natural balance

If we ban the use of fox scent hounds wont accidentally catch foxes. Hounds are trained to follow a scent. If you attend fox hunt where the hounds are trained on a synthetic scent and a fox or hare crosses your path the hounds will not chase it and in most cases will not even notice it.

Some fox hunts still use fox blood and urine to drag a scent.

These hounds will always chase foxes.

It is illegal to fox hunt so make it illegal to use fox scent.

Apart from anything else ......where does the scent come from!

 

We support the ban on fox hunting. We believe it is inhumane kill an animal with a pack of dogs. We are better than that.

 

 

A creature with a relatively simple injury can rest and be fed and is easily returned to the wild where it belongs. Imagine breaking your leg and not being able to feed because you can't get to Sainsbury's, or worse, becoming someone's dinner before you die......... Sounds ridiculous but not if you are a wild animal.

 

We treat a multitude of injuries including serious injuries such as road traffic accident with internal complications and many broken limbs.

 

Our goal is to return all our injured wildlife to the wild where they belong and we are extremely successful.

We have over the last few years hand reared many orphaned creatures such as tiny wrens and magnificent fawns with everything in between. This is a very rewarding and vital part of our work. Not only are these programs successful but also it enabled us to study these animals more closely giving us knowledge and education that can be shared with other organizations. This knowledge is used to increase our successes, improve our care program and better understand the needs and nature of the species.

 

We address or should be say redress the natural balance.

As well as working on the front line we give talks and show our stunning wildlife to a variety of groups and schools - Wildlife Rocks Me Talks. We believe that a better understanding of these creatures will promote not only tolerance but a willingness to integrate them into our lives.

 

Children will become the custodians of our planet and we hope, through our talks, will have a better understanding of and take an interest in our wonderful wildlife as they take on that ultimate role.

 

We raise funds by donations, our newsletter, attending County Shows, Car boot sales, selling on eBay, Fairs, and our shop.
