Oct 30, 2009: Fire Survivors

When wildfires hit California lots of organizations, and agencies, spring into action. The news is full of actions by Police, Firefighters, Medical Rescue to care for people, and the Humane Societies to care for pets.

Less publicized is the Wild Animal Rescue teams to care for the injured wildlife.



Quote:
A wildfire in Santa Barbara, California last month helped forge some unlikely bonds. Rescued from the Jesusita Fire, a 3-week old bobcat kitten and 3 day old fawn became fast friends. The animal rescue in California brought predator and prey together. But these babies simply took comfort in each other’s company, snuggling under a desk at a dispatch office for hours.


I don't suppose it would be fair to cook them now.

Nice debut post, esoteric. to the cellar.

I reckon those two animals started the fire to get publicity to kick start their acting careers. This is all aimed straight at disney.

These two are going to take us right back to the psychiatry thread..

They'll both need years of counseling.

Does this mean they'll see unibrow too?

The bobcat is just pretending they are friends until the fawn gets to about a year old. Lends new meaning to the term Fat Cat.

My sis-in-law says, about her daughters, "they're so cute I just want to punch them in the face." Of course she never would. We laugh about Children's Services investigating, and SIL saying "but LOOK! Don't you just want to punch them?" And CS saying "well, yeah, I see what you're saying."

(no children were punched in the making of this post.)

I think they are aiming for Jon and Kate's old time slot, the fires after all are reality!
