Huntington Beach, CA – June 16, 2021
Huntington Beach, CA – June 16, 2021
WHO’S MUTILATING PELICANS?Someone is intentionally breaking Brown Pelican’s wings. Over 32 Brown Pelicans have been mutilated between San Clemente and Huntington Beach. We need your help to find whomever is performing this atrocious act. Be OUR eyes and ears: Be on the lookout when you are on or near our oceans. Report all suspicious incidences to the CalTIP hotline at 888-334-2258. Or, text “CALTIP”, followed by a space and the message, to 847411 (tip411) if you have any information on these crimes. Include penal code 597 in the report.
Twenty-two Brown Pelicans have suffered compound fractures to their wings. A compound fracture (also known as an “open fracture”) is a broken bone that is accompanied by breaks in the skin, causing the broken ends of the bone to come into contact with the outside environment. “These are very serious injuries that require emergency surgeries and long term care” states Dr. Elizabeth Wood, DVM. Orthopedic surgery and care is costing thousands of dollars per bird. “HELP SAVE THE PELICANS!”

Look deep into Nature, and then you will understand everything better.

"There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before."
-Robert Lynd
"Those who wish to pet and baby wildlife love them, but those who respect their natures and wish to let them live their natural lives, love them more."
