What Is Wildlife Rehabilitation?

"Wildlife rehabilitation involves caring for injured, ill and orphaned wild
animals with the goal of releasing each into its natural habitat. Each
animal is examined, diagnosed and treated through an individually tailored
program of veterinary care, hospital care, feeding, medicating, physical
therapy, exercising and pre-release conditioning. Releases are planned
for appropriate weather, season, habitat and location. Some animals, of
course, are beyond help when found and are humanely euthanized.
Unreleasable animals occasionally provide valuable research information
or are suitable as educational aids.

Critics of wildlife rehabilitation advocate "Let nature take its course,"
indicating that distressed wild animals should be allowed to remain free to
meet their natural fate. However, records indicate that the majority of
injured, ill and orphaned wild animals handled by rehabilitators are
suffering not because of "natural" occurrences, but because of human
intervention -- some accidental, some intentional, many preventable:
autos, trains, mowers, high line wires, firearms, traps, kids throwing
stones, woodcutters, picture windows, poisons, oil spills, pets, etc.
Rehabilitators ease the suffering of these animals by either caring for
them until they can be released or humanely euthanizing them.

Permitted, trained rehabilitators are a valuable link in the network of
people and organizations helping wildlife. In addition to returning animals
to the wild, they are cooperating to reduce negative human impact on
wildlife and the environment. Some are involved in research, captive
propagation and reintroduction projects. Many are involved in public
education, exposing both children and adults to biological facts, ecological
concepts, and a responsible attitude toward all living things. Information
from trained, conscientious rehabilitators can and should be used more
often to assist in research, law writing and enforcement, population
management, habitat preservation, public education programs, and
species reintroduction."
