Cause Description:
Animals] are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time.... —Henry Beston, The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod The mission of the Cape Wildlife Center, a program of The Humane Society of the United States, is to promote and protect the health and well-being of wild animals and their habitats as integral parts of the Cape Cod community. The center operates a year-round wildlife rehabilitation facility and veterinary clinic that annually provides professional care to nearly 2,000 injured, ill, and orphaned wild animals. We strive to achieve the highest standards of care and humane treatment of wild animals within the Cape Cod ecosystem. Every year, the center also provides information to the thousands of Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts residents and visitors on how humanely to resolve conflicts between people and wildlife. In a similar vein, our Wildlife Advocacy program promotes compassionate coexistence with our wild neighbors through public outreach. We also work with local, state, and federal agencies, elected officials, and other advocacy groups to develop sound and humane public policy.
