Subject: RE: Thought For Peter T. May 29th
From Bambiland, aka, Wyoming: best thing to do is leave wild animals in the wild. Mother Nature is relentless, but only She knows her own balance. Game and Fish Department here has monumental problems with kind people who try to rescue everything from baby rattlesnakes to baby cougars. Seldom works. In spite of that, I have a friend who raised and released 2 baby badgers, and her mom let 3 baby possums spend the late winter/early spring in her solarium. Don't do it unless you really, really know what you are doing and how to go about it.
