Do you remember this post from last August?

Notable quote from the lady farmer was that when she contacted her coop the problem could be resolved. Contacting the former corporate processor often wouldn't result in a suitable solution.

About 40 years ago we created a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation organization. We had a close working relationship with a vet office. They have since been purchased by a private equity company.

The veterinarians working there have essentially been told "Thou shalt not touch any wild animal nor provide any type of medications or palliative care."

Need a pin in an eagle wing? Drive 3+ hours to the university that has a wildlife program.
