2. Leave the young animals be. Reminder from NH Fish & Game that springtime brings out the baby animals, who shouldn't be handled by humans, no matter how cute they are. "People think they're doing a good deed, but they are often removing the animal from the care of its parents and potentially exposing themselves to the risk of disease. In particular, your actions may result in the animal having to be euthanized for rabies testing," says Kent Gustafson, of Fish & Game.
