The Guyana Wildlife Conservation and Management Commission (GWCMC) is advising that members of the public refrain from harming wild animals that have been seeking refuge inland due to recent flooding around the country.
In a statement uploaded to the Commission’s Facebook pageon Saturday, it reminded that all wild animals play an important role in maintaining life on earth as it cautioned against harming them if they do not pose a mortal threat. “We understand that fear is natural emotion when encountering these animals, however, they should not be killed unless they pose a direct threat to human life,” it said.
The statement comes in wake of numerous sightings of wild animals, particularly snakes and caimans, following recent flooding in numerous parts of the country.
