about Wildlife Rehabilitation – What is a Wildlife Rehabilitator?
A wildlife rehabilitator is a person licensed by their State to take in orphaned and injured wildlife from and for the general public. Orphaned baby animals will be raised properly and injured or ill critters are rehabilitated. The main responsibility of a wildlife rehabilitator is to the animals they are caring for. The goal is to get these animals back into the wild where they are supposed to be, and want to be. That’s what it is all about…the animals remaining wild. They are not pets!
