Once the ducks are healthy and waterproof again, the goal is to release them back into their habitat once the area has been cleaned
TORONTO — Days after runoff from an industrial fire in west Toronto contaminated two nearby creeks, workers at the Toronto Wildlife Centre rub, scrub and massage soap into nearly 90 ducks one by one in sudsy tubs.
Nathalie Karvonen, executive director of Toronto Wildlife Centre, says once residue-covered ducks are captured, a medical exam is done and the animals are tubed with activated charcoal and fluids down their throat to help counteract the toxins they have already ingested. “If they are not waterproof the water will get through to their skin and get hypothermia, which is life threatening to them.”
