A wildlife rehabilitator friend, newly licensed, recently called to ask if he could feed a recovering Turkey Vulture anything besides defrosted rodents. Normally I feed vultures, as well as hawks and owls, defrosted mice and rats. He then ate a screech owl, a robin, two squirrels, a mourning dove, three chipmunks, and a rabbit.

5 or 6 times over the last year I have found decapitated or otherwise "dissassembled" mice or small rats near or under my car. Lots of squirrels, chipmunks, deer, rabbits. I'm not out in the country either (despite the wildlife.) I moved into this house about a year ago. but that's pretty much it for mammals.

What I don’t understand is why animal rights organizations almost completely ignore wildlife. Habitat destruction and degradation is far and away the number one reason why wildlife populations are extirpated or go extinct. Yes, of course it is too bad that so many animals (most often rats, mice and rabbits) have to be killed.

In responding to Suzie’s post defending wildlife rehabilitation I began to think again about the areas in which animal rights and animal welfare overlap with the field of conservation, and the ways in which they don’t. People would often express surprise that I, someone that cared about wildlife conservation, would eat meat.
