Hats Off to Model Employee for "Doing the Right Thing"

William Thomas, Community Patrol Manager at Mediterra rescued a bald eagle that was found shot in North Naples and sent it to the Conservancy of Southwest Florida Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (WRC), weighing only 4 pounds, half the weight of a normal bald eagle. The bald eagle was treated for a severely fractured right leg due to a gunshot wound, but was unable to recover from its injury and is now at rest. William Thomas, "Did the Right Thing" by transporting the bald eagle to the WRC. If an injured animal is found please do not hesitate to bring it into the WRC or call 239.262.CARE. The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center was built to handle 500 animals per year and is currently treating over 2,400 annually, releasing almost half back into their native habitats. Annual operating expenses exceed $250,000, so donations are always appreciated. To learn more about the conservancy visit www.conservancy.org.
