Question

Can a rehab animal survive in the wild?

Answer 1

Most animals are brought into wildlife rehabilitation centres for help. They are so sick or emaciated that their chances for survival are often slim. They are taken care of and treated under captivity only until able to live independently in the wild. Every effort is made to minimize human contact and prevent the taming of rehabilitation patients. So, when they are released back into their wild habitat, they often survive well.
