The Wildlife Rescue Center of Ballwin saw a rising number of patients it saved last year. It was recorded that somewhere along 3,500 animals were treated by volunteers and a small pool of staff. Although the uptick isn’t that surprising, the numbers recorded in 2019 have a huge difference from the ones in 2020.

“Now kind of the working theory is [that] possibly because people were home more, they perhaps were in their yards and encountering animals,” executive director Kim Rutledge explained on Friday’s show. Since people are being more aware of wildlife rehabilitation, the number of these animal rescue cases could rise even higher in the following years.
