Wildlife agencies and rehabilitation centers are warning the public that animals and insects can get trapped in a certain Halloween decoration, and potentially die.
"The fake webbing is horribly dangerous for wildlife. Fake spiderweb decorations kill birds. It's strong enough to snare an owl and takes a terrible toll every October on small birds. They get tangled up in it and cannot get out, therefore leading to a slow, agonizing death," the post goes on.
Wildlife experts warn that Halloween spider web decorations can entangle small animals and insects, which can have deadly consequences. If fake webs or nets are already set, WildCare suggests home decorators check their webbing or netting twice a day for stuck animals.
