Description
This Mallard scurried up from the water to the shore as I came up as if to greet me. These Mallards had been cared for by a wildlife rehabilitator who rescues, treats and cares for animals that have been orphaned, injured or cannot care for themselves. I want to dedicate this photo to all those people that give of themselves to rescue, care for and help animals, both wild and domestic, return to a better life from sometimes dire circumstances.
.....
Rehabilitation begins when an animal is found and reported to a wildlife rehabilitator, or seized from the illegal wildlife trade or a poacher. The rehabilitator will examine the animal to determine the extent of the injury and the probability of successful rehabilitation. If it appears that the animal can make a sufficient recovery to be able to return to the wild, the animal will be fed, nurtured, reconditioned, medicated, operated on, or otherwise treated as necessary.
Animals that cannot be rehabilitated are usually euthanized humanely, although animals are occasionally placed at facilities appropriately licensed for educational exhibit or brought into appropriate lifetime care in a wildlife rescue center.
A non-releasable animal may sometimes be kept by the rehabilitator (under separate permit) as a foster parent for orphaned or injured young wildlife.
