About Living With Wildlife

As the human population continues to grow and we continue to develop the open space in our state, animals are constantly losing valuable habitat that is vital to their survival. As the third most densely populated state in the nation, Massachusetts is familiar with the often unfortunate and inevitable conflicts that occur where people and animals inhabit the same areas. The MSPCA promotes the Living With Wildlife philosophy to address these issues and to ensure that Massachusetts remains on the forefront of progressive and humane management of its valuable wildlife species.

The Living With Wildlife philosophy is to provide for the protection of wild species now and in the future. To that end, the MSPCA promotes harmonious and peaceful coexistence between people and wildlife in urban, suburban, and rural Massachusetts' communities through humane, long-term, and cost-effective resolutions of human-animal conflicts.

We are committed to both people and animals throughout the Commonwealth. Please feel free to contact the MSPCA for more information about Living With Wildlife, to get information about a wildlife concern, or to find out how you can get involved and make a difference for the wild animals in your community.
