HECKHAVEN WILDLIFE REHABILITATION CENTER'S sole purpose is to release back
into the wild, their natural environment, any and all wild born creatures which find
themselves in the hands of man.
The CENTER will take in any animals (except dogs or cats) that have been orphaned or injured.
HECKHAVEN takes in over 1000 animals a year.
Most American wildlife is protected by both State and Federal laws. The mere
harassing of certain wildlife is considered a felony crime and can lead to large fines and
even imprisonment. HECKHAVEN carries both State and Federal Rehabilitation permits.
LOUISIANA is called the "Sportsman's Paradise." In order to keep this
distinction and the tourism it attracts, we must protect and nurture our furred, finned,
and feathered neighbors. Pollution, indiscriminate building and land stripping, and hunting
overkill are their, AND OUR, worst enemies.
