FL 'I fin dit very heartening that, in the 1990's the plight of the wildlife casualty is being taken up by increasing numbers of good people.'
A book on the rescue and treatment advice of wild animals that you may find injured. It's quite a handy thing to have if you find something in your garden and want to know whether to leave it, or whether you have to intervene.

A belated journal entry for this book.
Published in 1992 some of this book has, inevitably, dated, so anyone using it would do well to check against more up to date resources. However a lot of it is still useful. I do not agree with the author's general level of assessment when it comes to triage and welfare ("Birds with broken bones don't feel pain", "Euthanasia is virtually never necessary"). I think most advisors today would operate more "stringent" assessments for wild animals. I'm not sure if it is just this author or whether it was the prevailing view at that time which has since altered.
Thank you again chas04 for sending me this and sorry it's taken me so long to journal it. Now available for anyone who would like it.
