Rehabilitation:
Rehabilitation is the process of caring for injured or orphaned wildlife in the proper manner as outlined by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and by the Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitators Association in order to prepare the animal for re-release back into the wild. Rehabilitation can also be in regards to exotic animals that may have not had the proper diet or enclosure and has become aggressive due to his surroundings. In some cases, with the proper care, these animals can become "pet worthy" again and are then able to be placed back into a new permanent home.
Issue of Interest!!
Ohio House Bill 45, a bill to regulate wild and exotic animal ownership, has been introduced by Representative George Distel.
Wild
Rescue One opposes
HB 45. This bill, if passed, allows the ODNR Division of Wildlife to
administer a permitting program, establish caging & animal care
requirements and enforce penalties, including the confiscation and
euthanasia of our animals. HB 45 does not exempt USDA licensed facilities!
Wild Rescue One, along with other organizations, have organized
efforts to defeat this bill. Please check out our new Proposed Laws and
Regulations page for newly added information dedicated to fighting proposed legislative that
is geared at taking away our rights as private owners of wild and exotic
animals. If you are a private owner, rescue, or otherwise concerned about
protecting these animals, please join us in this fight!
The godly are concerned for the welfare of their animals, but even the kindness of the wicked is cruel.
