I had to remove one Wildlife Hospital from our resources list as I heard from a reliable source that they euthanase most of the animals they receive. On the list I had commented that they offered only rehabilitation and release , aimed to return the animals to the wild as soon as possible and that they would not be suitable for badly injured birds, but I think that reading between the lines they are not prepared to spend time, effort or resources on animals that might need a lot of nursing or that might not make a full recovery.
To my fury and indignation I also realised that I had sent them a donation! I wish I could claw that one back as there are many worthier places that it could go.
