It is extremely important that once you have collected a wild animal you arrange to bring it to care. Do not attempt to treat wildlife on your own. WILDNorth has the ability to provide the topmost care to wildlife. Most wild animals are also protected by law, and having them in captivity without a special permit could result in prosecution.
