in #CASE you missed it… Halloween home decor can hurt wildlife.
Your outdoor Halloween decorations might be scary for a whole other reason, say wildlife experts.
The big one is the fake cobwebs, which animals have managed to get themselves caught up in, leading to injuries.
Alison Hermance from California's WildCare notes that birds flying into it can damage their wings and claws while smaller woodland creatures like chipmunks hurt their paws.
Strands of lighting are problematic as well, notes Jason Clay of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife, who says deer and elk can get their antlers trapped in the wires.
