Have
you ever found an injured wild animal…a baby bird or rabbit…and wondered
what to do?
Who takes care of hurt wild animals? Veterinarians? Zoos? State wildlife
agencies? Only wildlife rehabilitators legally care for wild animals.
Every year they heal hundreds of thousands of sick, orphaned, and injured
animals and release as many of them back to the wild as possible. Learn
about these unsung heroes and the incredible creatures they care for -
from bats to raccoons to whales and loons.
Healers of the Wild is also filled with advice for individuals,
with instructions on how to be helpful, including a series of Wildlife
Fact Sheets from the Fund for
Animals. Readers learn:
· Why taking wild animals home is dangerous.
· What to do upon finding orphaned or injured wild animals.
· How to humanely evict critters from a home (and keep them from
moving back in).
· How to prevent common wildlife injuries.
This new edition has been fully revised, including a greatly expanded
and updated resource section. Anyone who might ever be tempted to take
a baby bird home or to stop to help an injured fox, would benefit from
reading this book and learning how to safely help wildlife.
