Ingrid Taylar: Bridging the Divide Between Cat and Bird Lovers

10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 7, 2016

Cat and dog rescuers share with wildlife rehabilitators the unfortunate burden of healing the hurt caused by other humans. A year later, in a new city and at a new wildlife hospital, I got my official volunteer apron and badge. The bird was stripped of feathers and so badly battered that euthanasia was probable.

I was watching a news segment on a wildlife rehabilitation center here in Florida. Note to everyone who works with birds and water fowl: Hypothermia and rapid freezing are not appropriate methods of euthanasia and are not considered to be humane unless the animal is anesthetized prior to freezing.
