If you find a fawn on its own, what would you do?
According to at least one B.C. wildlife centre you say: “It’s fawn season — leave them where they lie.”
Spring is when fawns begin to arrive across the province. Unless they have a life-threatening injury or you witness that the mother, is dead, the Vancouver Island’s North Island Wildlife Rescue Centre advises the public to just leave the fawns alone
According to centre officials, newborn fawns will drop to the ground in response to a threat (such as dogs, cougars and humans) or while their mother goes off to forage.
