Tanya Jackson+FollowWhy running is off-limits at Finley RefugeFinley Wildlife Refuge might look like the perfect spot for a jog, but running is actually off-limits here—and for good reason. Quick movements like jogging can scare nesting birds and other wildlife, making them feel threatened and disrupting their routines. Many locals shared that the refuge’s main goal is to protect animals, not provide recreation, so rules are strict: hiking is okay, but leave your running shoes (and pets) at home. It’s all about giving wildlife a peaceful place to thrive. Do you think these rules strike the right balance, or should there be more room for recreation? #Pets #FinleyRefuge #WildlifeProtection10Share

Jacob Morgan+FollowShark Attack Hotspots: Florida Tops the List!Who knew the US was the world’s shark attack capital? According to a new survey, the US has nearly double the shark attacks of Australia, with Florida’s beaches—especially New Smyrna Beach—leading the pack. Australia and South Africa round out the top three, but the odds of getting bitten are still super low. Still, maybe skip that sunrise swim in Florida if you’re squeamish about fins! #Pets #SharkAttacks #FloridaBeaches50Share
