Regular readers of this blog will recognize our friend, Ned Bruha aka “The Skunk Whisperer” of Tulsa Oklahoma. We connected through Cheryl’s well-directed tweets and began communicating about beavers and the best tools for their management. The website says,
The Skunk Whisperer®, Inc., has become known as a pioneer in unique, truly humane nuisance wildlife management methods, and is often featured in the news recently receiving international attention. Oklahoma based, our humane wildlife control services surpass model guidelines from The Humane Society Of The United States for nuisance wildlife control companies. Our offices are in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
Lo and behold, sometimes good works (and a cowboy hat) get noticed! Last week, Discovery Network announced plans for an upcoming series to be set in northeastern Oklahoma and which features the exploits of wildlife recovery expert,“The Skunk Whisperer.” It will run on animal planet. This will be a season of following the exploits of humane animal exclusion and the corresponding hi-jinx that ensue! Animal planet broadcasts all across the nation and around the globe, so its a big deal for humane management.
Of course, we all know the broken record audio of my one-track mind, so I wrote him with immediate congratulations and suggested he might want to do program soon addressing management of a certain particular rodent. I had some suggestions about a possible guest as well that might help explain flow devices. Let’s just say it was an exciting conversation – apparently there are lots of beaver conflicts in his region, and its one of the first things he wants to address.
“We are so pleased that we’re going to get my message — of humane, no-trap, no-kill, non-traditional wildlife message — out to a national audience,” Bruha said. “If people who watch ‘The Skunk Whisperer’ get nothing else from the program, I hope they realize there are other options than killing the odd squirrel, bat or other critter they find in their shed or attic.”
You and me, both! When you watch the above video you will understand at once that Ned knows more than a few things about pleasing the media! We’re so happy for you! And for critters everywhere!
