Did you ever try to rescue a wild animal?

I know a lady who is raising a squirrel because she found it as a baby nearly dead on the side walk. I remember trying to nurse a baby bird back to life that had fallen from a tree when I was a kid. The bird did not make it unfortunately, but we tried. Did you ever rescue or attempt to rescue an injured wild animal?

Yes, I found a rook with a broken beak, I took it to the vet who repaired it with plastic padding and I kept it in a cage for a while till it was well enough to fly away all the best urban

You betcha! I am an animal lover with three animal loving kids who were forever dragging an unfortunate animal home. We rescued birds and cats mostly and always turned them in to rescue units that had the expertise to handle their issues. We were just big ole softies...LOL!!

I don't recall ever trying to rescue a wild or injured animal. I am always afraid I will do more harm than good. We have called animal rescue a couple times to help injured animals. I guess you could say we rescued my little dog because he was wandering around a very bad neighborhood when we found him. He was either abandoned or escaped, but he was so adorable, we couldn't resist him. We did attempt to find an owner, but nobody claimed him.
