Rescuing, repairing, and raising orphaned wildlife is a very great privilege, undertaken by a rare breed of humans. We've joked before with our fellow dog- and cat-rescuers and admitted that dog rescuers are "wimps" compared to cat rescuers, because cat rescuers tolerate delayed gratification and unrequited love, whereas dog rescuers get immediate thanks and a fan club. (:--)) But wildlife rehabbers -- now these humans are the deepest and most selfless of all. Why? Well, take for example someone who rescues and raises orphan raccoons.
