As the third most densely populated state in the nation, Massachusetts is familiar with conflicts that occur when people and animals inhabit the same areas. To address these issues and to ensure that Massachusetts remains at the forefront of humane management of its valuable wildlife species, the MSPCA promotes the Living With Wildlife philosophy: Through humane, long-term, and cost-effective resolutions of human-animal conflicts, we can achieve harmonious and peaceful coexistence between people and wildlife in urban, suburban, and rural Massachusetts communities.
