• “This community service has worked very well... The onset of Facebook has however disrupted the effective and timely response for emergency call-outs... The best way is to stay with the injured animal until a WAC volunteer arrives... This is our message: call the WAC immediately for injured deer or other wildlife issues but not try to contact us by Facebook.” — The Islands Grapevine – December 31st, 2020 (December 31st, 2020)
