Wendy's Law: Wildlife Rescue Fights for Injured Animals
17 Sep
Summary
- A coyote named Wendy suffered from infection and pellets, indicating she was shot.
- Wildlife Care SoCal is campaigning for 'Wendy's Law' to aid injured wildlife.
- Southern California Pit Bull Rescue offered a reward for information on Wendy's shooter.
A tragic incident involving a coyote, affectionately named Wendy by local residents, has sparked a movement for legislative change in Southern California.
Wendy was discovered with a severely swollen face, later determined to be caused by a significant infection and two lodged pellets, indicating she had been shot. The organization Wildlife Care of Southern California, which treated Wendy, stated that the damage was beyond repair, leading to the difficult decision to euthanize the animal.
In honor of Wendy, wildlife rescue groups are launching a campaign for "Wendy's Law." This proposed legislation aims to create a lawful pathway for qualified organizations to capture and assist injured or diseased wildlife. Southern California Pit Bull Rescue has further offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the individual responsible for shooting Wendy.
