We're so glad that this little guy is safe! It's an important reminder that these animals are illegal to own in Mass. As with other wild animals, their physical and behavioral needs can't be met when kept as a pet, resulting in harm to the animal, and potential danger to people and other animals.

Dozens of advocates came to rally in support of wildlife and testify in favor of S.644/H.965, Rep Hawkins and I's bills curbing the use of anticoagulant rat poisons. These poisons accumulate in the bodies of animals who eat rodents, endangering hawks, bobcats, eagles, foxes, and other animals.
