UPDATE: Wild Neighbors and primary author John Hadidian were quoted
repeatedly in the June 5, 2008, New York Times article "Peter
Rabbit Must Die," by Joyce Wadler! She describes the book as
offering "creative and humane methods of discouraging [animals]
from eating your plants." This long-awaited, new and expanded
edition provides invaluable information to any homeowner who seeks
to live in harmony with the wildlife in his backyard—and in his
community. Wild Neighbors provides practical, humane, and effective
advice on how to share living space with 35 of the most common
species—from alligators to woodpeckers—found in the lower 48
states. Advice focuses on how to: properly and accurately define a
wildlife problem; determine what type of animal is causing it;
identify the damage; effectively take action for a humane and
permanent solution; and proactively avoid future conflicts. The
authors are current or former members of the staff of The Humane
Society of the United States. Every homeowner should have this
book, because he will need it sooner or later...as will everyone
who calls himself a wildlife control operator. Every wildlife
rehabber needs to know WILD NEIGHBORS cover to cover! We use the
information on how every species we rescue lives, how it acts, and
how we can make the animal as comfortable as possible while in our
care. Denise Hays Assistant Director, Wildcat Creek Wildlife
Center, Delphi, Indiana; Owner, Wildways Wildlife Control
