Westside : WILDLIFE GROUP
A cash-starved wildlife rescue organization in Malibu goes out of business today after four years of saving sick and stranded creatures who live along the coast.
The Malibu Marine and Mountain Wildlife Rescue has saved hundreds of animals, most of which have ended up at the Marine Mammal Care Center at Ft. MacArthur in San Pedro for rehabilitation.
The rescue group has contracted with Malibu to provide rescue services--all for $1 a year. But members can’t raise enough contributions to keep operating, said Terry Rogaczewski, operations manager and senior rescue coordinator. Malibu officials say the city does not have the funding to help.
