Question

Wildlife hero

Who will save a flying bird caught in fishing line? Who will give a safe home to a snowy owl with no beak(喙)? Mona Rutger—that’s who! She has cared for thousands of injured(受傷的) animals. Mona runs a wildlife centre in Castalia, Ohio, called Back to the Wild.

Mona grew up on a farm. She spent a lot of time learning about the local wildlife when she was a little girl. As she got older, Mona learned more about animals. She decided that she wanted to help animals. She used some of her family’s land to start a wildlife centre. Injured animals could live in the centre until they were ready to go back to the wild.

Mona took care of the animals seven days a week. She didn’t think that was too much work, though. She knew the animals needed her. In time volunteers began to help her. Some people helped care for the animals. Others put money in a fund(基金) for the centre. The fund helped pay for animal feed and medical bills. One friend wrote and told a television station about Back to the Wild. The letter led to a special award(獎(jiǎng)). Mona was named the Hero of the Year! She received a $ 10,000 prize from the television station. Mona used the money to help more animals.

Today, Mona is still taking care of animals. She also visits schools to teach children about protecting wild places and animals. She hopes more people will become heroes for animals, too!
