UPCOMING
DAS EVENTS: Our May
Program (May 12) is "Birds And
Wild Cats, Finding A Workable Solution; Plus The Movie Here, Kitty Kitty".
When you think of wild cats, what do you think of? ... Lynx and Bobcats, maybe?
The kind of wild cats we're thinking of here are domestic feral cats and pet
cats left outdoors. These wild cats can wreak havoc on the song bird
populations, and on the other side, the cats themselves suffer from the elements
and predators (animal and human). This topic is controversial and emotional to
say the least. Peggy Farr, local wildlife rehabilitator, and Ruth Lyon, former
wildlife rehabilitator, will present "workable" ideas for a
not-so-easy solution. In addition, the (short, about sixty minutes) documentary
movie Here, Kitty Kitty presents both sides of the issue.
DAS monthly programs are held at Hartley Nature Center,
3001 Woodland Avenue, Duluth, the second Wednesday of each month (excluding December,
June, July, and August) at 7:00 p.m.
All programs are free and open to the public.
