About The Webinar
When an injured or orphaned wild animal is presented, rapid and important assessments and decisions have to be made, primarily to prevent suffering, but also in relation to staff health and safety and legislative requirements. The primary aim must always be to return an animal successfully to the wild, with a chance of survival equivalent to that of other free-living members of its species. The alternatives are permanent captivity, which is rarely acceptable on welfare grounds, or euthanasia, which must always be considered at every stage of the assessment and treatment process. This seminar will cover the essentials of the triage and decision-making process for wildlife patients.
