Protection for young animals: Kitz rescue launched in the Siebengebirge!

Kitz rescue of the Hegering started -… Ausbadhonnef.de

der Hegering Siebengebirge e.V. started a week ago with the Kitz rescue. In this critical period in which the first meadows are mowed, special emphasis is placed on saving out defenseless young wild animals. Kitze have already been brought to safety, which underlines the urgent need and importance of this initiative.

During the breeding and setting time, the deer put off your fawn. These small animals are particularly vulnerable in the first weeks of life and often remain alone in forest areas, fields or meadows. Your missing escape reaction makes you susceptible to threats. During this time, it is crucial that dogs are led on a leash and that people stick to the paths so as not to present an unwanted danger to the young animals.

The particularly protected fawns simply push themselves to the ground in danger, which makes it easy goals for potential threats. Entering meadows and forests away from the paths could also lead to the destruction of the locations or to destroy young animals that could no longer be accepted by their mother animals.

The Hegering points out that respectful handling of nature and wild animals in this sensitive phase is essential. Interested parties can contact the Hegering in terms of further information in order to learn more about the protection of the wildlife and the fawn rescue.
