Urban animal hotline axed

Wildlife and the city -- the two don't always know what to do with each other.

In the past, Montrealers could call McGill University's Urban Nature Information Services.

It was a hotline staffed by students to answer urban wildlife questions. The service had been up and running since 2001. But recently, staff had to call it quits.

Daybreak spoke to David Bird, one of the program's coordinators.
