Operation WildLife Show at the Kansas City Pagan Pride Day

MERRIAM, Kan. - Aug. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Operation WildLife Environmental Teaching Service (O.W.L.E.T.S.) will be hosting a special wildlife show during Kansas City Pagan Pride Day this year on 15 September 2013 from 10:45-11:30 at the Merriam Market Place, 5740 Merriam Dr, Merriam KS.  

Operation WildLife (OWL) provides rehabilitation services for injured and orphaned wild animals, and wildlife education for the citizens of northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri.  They are the largest publicly funded wildlife clinic in Kansas, according to Kansas Wildlife and Parks statistics. They receive thousands of wild animals each year, and the release rate averages 69% from year to year - 20% higher than the national average of 49%.  They receive NO state or federal funding, relying entirely on donations to exist. It is the generosity of people like you that makes it possible for us to continue providing veterinary care, food and rehabilitation for wild animals, with the goal of releasing them back to the wild.  Read more at http://www.owl-online.org/
