"Someone shared your website with me. I hope your organization is heard by a lot of people.
It is great what you are doing. I wish more people had your heart towards animals, there is
too much inhumane, cruelty towards animals in this world. Thank you for what you are doing."

"My name is Tami and I saw a clip on TV of Ned rescuing the raccoons from the Pepsi machine.
I was so touched by the way he handled the animals and by the important message that was sent
through that clip about respecting life--all forms of life. ..."
Tami
"I recently saw the video of you rescuing the baby raccoons from the Pepsi vending machine.
I'd like to thank you for your kindness towards animals.
You are a true testament to humanity.
Please keep up the good work and continue spreading the word!"

"Just a note to thank a wonderful person who saved my husband and I from a
(could be) bad situation. I'm referring to a company by the name of The
Skunk Whisperer. I would like to thank them for coming out so late in the
night, Midnight, to remove a possum from a bedroom in our house. It was
done humanely and professionally. We couldn't believe that when we called,
we actually had a person call back, quickly and pleasantly. They were out
as soon as we hung up the phone.
What a relief to know that the animal would not be hurt and such a pleasant
person, gifted to do this job.
I would so like to say thanks again, and let them know that I will never use
anyone else to do animal removal for me, ever."
Sharon
"Ned is a hero for wildlife, and not just on TV. The only way the world is going to
change their ways is if they see for themselves how well his methods work, and learn
that the majority of people's problems with wildlife are invited, and they themselves
have to change before Ned will step in. I believe the tremendous response to this
story is a direct result of how down a lot of people are feeling these days with our
economic crisis. We all need to be reminded that there is good in the world still,
and little things still matter and require our care. It makes us feel safer, and
Ned always gives me hope that there is still room for change! The soft gushy man
in the clip who appears to love the little kits is exactly who he is. Love you Ned, and as always, very proud of you!"
Annette
"I just saw a video online about your rescue of a couple of baby raccoons and
checked out your website. I must say, it's great to see a wildlife control
company handle the animals in a humane manner! I used to work in Animal Control,
and love your company's philosophy. ... I am a hunter and fisherwoman, but also
believe in treating all animals with dignity. It is so refreshing to see a man with
your knowledge of animals, great public representation and philosophy to be out there
representing wildlife control. You do a great job with the media, and look like a hero.
Thank you for helping advance the profession."
Aimmee
"I watched the Yahoo video of you saving the raccoon babies from the Pepsi machine.
I just wanted to write a quick note thanking you for saving their little lives.
What a wonderful thing you do. I am glad there are people like you out there."
Laurie
" ... I am an English teacher here in Israel and think that teaching is a wonderful job
and gift to be able to share. I wanted to thank Ned for his hard work and sharing his philosophy
about wildlife through his autobiography on the website. I am really touched and moved by people
that really stand for and practice what they believe in. It has certainly strengthened my belief in
'live and let live' and hopefully will make me less fearful of animals that I see pop up where they are not expected."
Tami
"I am very happy that my opossum critter is gone without trapping or killing him...no more crazy noises under the tub every night!"
Angie
"Thank you for being there and doing what you do. I called and asked for help
regarding my Boss's tenant who has an invasion of the skunk variety. God Bless You."
Pat
"Ned. You are the best!! I wish I had known you two years ago when bats invaded my chimney!"
Kathy
"You are awesome. I have friends that have raccoon problems and I will give them your contact info."
Nita
"We're so grateful for your help, I don't know what we'd have done without you. At first I was
skeptical about wether your humane methods would work - but they did - and no innocent
wildlife got hurt in the process. What a wonderful thing. Our horses are really enjoying their now
skunk, bird, rat and pest free barn. Thank you."
Lisa
"Thank you Ned for telling me about the poor little squirrel. I had hoped the little
guy would be OK, but obviously not. Thank you for euthanizing him. That was the kindest thing
to do. I told Sammy, (my cat that captured the squirrel) that there would be no more open access
to the outside again! He's proved to be a mighty hunter. I told him he could get all the mice and
rats he wants! I've also told many of my friends about your service. It was well worth it!"
Dannie
"I applaud the excellent job you did and do. I really believe in you guys and want to see you
continue to share your commitment and enthusiasm for animals."
Kim
"Ned--I am Virginia's daughter, Jan. She called you last week about her under-house skunk problem.
I want to thank you for taking the time to talk with her, and for your help in discerning that the electrical/heating
and air professionals she called probably don't want the skunk clean-up job before doing
the duct replacement.

She has been in touch with me and was complimentary of your help. I'm adding my appreciation since it is rare these days to get courtesy and honest assessment about a situation rather than taking advantage of someone's lack of knowledge--and particularly an elderly woman! Mom has been in touch with friends of ours and has a new plan, and was going to implement your easy and free solution suggestion yesterday. Since I live half a country away, I am grateful for the kindness of strangers.
Your photo looks like you might have served in Afghanistan. My father was career Air Force and served in all the
major conflicts from WWII on. He died in 2001 and is buried at the National Cemetery in Fort Gibson.
So, in memory of him this weekend, and in honor of your service, I extend heartfelt thanks. And, again,
thanks for your kindness to my mother."
Jan
"Thanks for the raccoon update! And thank you so much for rescuing the
little guys from our tree and delivering them to safety; my husband and I
are truly grateful. Also, thanks for the tips about feeding our cat
(originally an outdoor stray) on a pedestal table! I have been trying to
get him to eat indoors for years but he refuses - But I'm going to try
again to get him to eat inside, get a pedestal table, or at least bring in
his dish after his meal instead of leaving it outside. As an animal lover I
really appreciate your kind and humane treatment of the critters!"
Susan
"Thank you for all the insight."
Mary
"Ned ROCKS!"
Lisa
"I, like many others, saw your great video and wanted to thank you for taking the baby raccoons to a
rehabber. I'm a rehabber myself and am always grateful when someone contacts me before calling animal
control or taking matters into their own hands. what I'm saying, I guess, is that it is very frustrating
to be a rehabber and not have your resources utilized by the public and animal control, so it makes it
especially wonderful that people like you are out there and know that we exist and that we are dedicated
professionals who have chosen to give our lives to this task. It's a hard task,as you know, to convince
people that wildlife should not automatically be removed the minute they see it. So I'm glad that people
like you are pushing for non-traditional methods of control. It makes us rehabbers feel like we are not
just voices talking with no one listening. thanks again for taking care of those baby raccoons."
Mary Ellen
"I really appreciate what you do. It's cool that you are so gifted at sending out the 'news'."
Deb
"I'm an avid wildlife buff and caught your extraction of those 2 cute racoon babies from
the machine and wanted to applaud you a job well done. I'm glad that there are more wildlife
protectors in this world. Good Job"
Paul
"I taped and watched over and over ---with company too----of you
being on the tv news catching those coons
from the soda fountain can machine."
Patti
"Ned Bruha, who's a different breed"
CBS Affiliate - KOTV TV
"He has the look of a safari guy, the eyes of a naturalist,
and the persona of Ace Ventura meets Dirty Harry.
He is The Skunk Whisperer."
ABC Affiliate - KTUL TV
"... I saw Ned Bruha on Yahoo video news this morning. Really cool how those women called
to help those raccoons in the Pepsi machine! Those raccoons were insanely cute, and Ned's pretty easy on the eyes, too :-)"
"Hi, I just saw the video of the raccoon rescue. Looks like your people do wonderful work.
It is nice to see them captured and rehabbed vs. relocated or killed."
"Thank you so much Ned, for your services. As someone with your heart, I appreciate it immensely.
No one seems to understand and thinks it's a waste of time to do what you do." ... "
I hate it when exterminators are called in, besides really hating the chemicals involved, I
think every creature, whether mammal or insect or whatever, deserves to be able to live its
life without interference from us. As I'm sure you already know, it's very difficult to find
another person that thinks like that.
"
Cathi
"I love your name. What a hoot! I've seen you around town in your trucks and I thought,
'What a perfect name!' HA! I'm sure I am not the only one to tell you this.
Thank you for being a humane operator. We need you guys. Thanks!"
Deb
"I am thrilled to know a celebrity, and one who hasn't let it go to his head.
Now I can say I've been posting Ned’s stories long before CNN and MSNBC and Yahoo picked it up."
Marti
"That was a terrific video on Yahoo with you and the Pepsi 'coons. Really enjoyed your website.
Congratulations on the terrific work and entrepreneurial vision."
John
"Saw you on a link off Yahoo saving baby racoons from a Pepsi machine. That was wild! Great job!"
Patty
"Skunk Whisperer 'frenemy' to critters.
One good ol’ country boy has molded himself into one the greatest animal 'trappers' of all time."
