Oiled Wildlife Hotline … Call In If You Spot Any
If you spot oiled wildlife (from the spill near billings) there is a hot-line that you can call in to report it. The free hot-line was set up by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to aid wildlife spill responders in locating potentially affected animals. Spokesman Leith Edgar encourages people to call in with their sightings.
Callers should not attempt to capture or touch the wildlife themselves. Rather, responders will attempt to capture the reported animals.
Edgar says when captured, the wildlife will be rehabilitated and then released back to the wild. To report oiled animals call 1-800-259-0596
