They will rebuild and the animals are safe for now.

It is a big undertaking, but it has the potential to do a lot of good. It could expand the range of the giraffes and make them less vulnerable as a species to things like oil exploration. The Ajai Wildlife Reserve is a rejuvenated area. Bringing in a population of giraffes will help restore the area.

The reserve has a history.

I am more interested in its future. I think we will hear good things in years to come. A conservation effort like this has great potential to do a lot of good for species preservation, biodiversity and habitate restoration.
So good luck to the giraffes. I hope they like their new home.]]>

Some human medications can be toxic to our pets. Some treatments can be dangerous.
If a pet is unwell, it would be better to consult a veterinarian.

We need to use good judgement when it comes to online pet medical advice.
First consider the source. What kind of site is it and who is giving the advice.
If there is medication involved, it would be best to consult a vet.
Is the treatment helping or is the animal worse. I know the internet has free advice, but it can come at the cost of your pet's health, or worse.
At least check more than one site and see if they agree.

I know we have the idea that we should rush in and save every animal we see. We think animals are in distress when they are not. We think babies are abandoned when they are not. We end up doing more harm than good. Just feeding the wrong food can damage or even kill an animal.
In the case of a protected animal, we are even doing something illegal.
