Animal Safety and Protection Month

October is Animal Safety and Protection Month. This month aims to educate and remind people of the ethical and kind treatment that all creatures should be shown, from domestic pets to wild animals. The goal of Animal Safety and Protection Month aligns closely with Go Pro Wildlife Removal’s mission of bridging the gap between human interactions and protecting wildlife.

Owners Background in Wildlife

Wildlife conservation and education are both a professional and personal passion of Go Pro Wildlife owners, Chris and Stephanie Kadletz. They operate intending to protect wildlife and use ethical removal techniques. With a degree in Animal Science, Chris uses his expertise to educate the public regarding how to protect their homes and find permanent solutions to wildlife removal. Stephanie currently works as Assistant Director of Raptor Rehabilitation at the Auburn University Raptor Center. She not only assists in teaching veterinary students about wildlife medicine and rehabilitation, she also educates the public on what do to when they encounter injured, orphaned or ill wildlife. This combination of experience and dedication allows them to provide the highest quality wildlife expertise and solutions to their customers.

What Does Go Pro Wildlife Do to Ethically Protect Wildlife

Go Pro Wildlife exercises its commitment to ethically protecting wildlife through a variety of thoughtful practices. Exclusion techniques are used whenever possible to ensure animals are not harmed and family groups stay together. When working to evict animals, Go Pro Wildlife will use one-way doors to allow animals to exit freely while minimizing disruption to their habitats. Trapping is utilized in 99% of situations. Anytime an animal is trapped and relocated, its chances of survival decrease significantly because it will not know where to find food, shelter and water. Additionally, Go Pro Wildlife uses electronic monitoring systems, which helps ensure the animals are humanely and ethically removed from the structure, ensuring their well-being during the removal process. They also carefully monitor bat roosts, particularly during pup season, to safeguard young bats during any interventions. Finally, by working closely with local departments of natural resources, Go Pro Wildlife ensures that their methods align with established guidelines and recommendations for responsible wildlife management.

To continue raising awareness and working toward animal protection, Go Pro Wildlife Removal partners with Savage Hart on conservation efforts. Savage Hart was built on strong ethical values and a mission to protect and conserve wild animals and their natural habitats. Go Pro also is a member of the National Wildlife Rehabilitation Association, an organization dedicated to supporting the conservation of wildlife through rehabilitation and education.

Through these practices, Go Pro Wildlife Removal not only ensures animal safety and protection in October but year-round.
