Heron

Too often with wildlife rescue, we have to let animals go to end suffering.

Today was such a case, we took a call for this grounded Heron. We easily caught them, thats never a good sign. A quick examination, they were extremely emaciated and weak.

A thorough examination at the vets revealed an old injury to his leg and an amputated toe. Its likely that this debilitating injury led to his decline.

We couldn’t save his life, we have undoubtedly saved him from suffering.
