Do We Release Our Animals?

Animal Wonders is an educational organization focused on providing lifelong care for animals that cannot survive in the wild. Unlike rehabilitation centers, which aim to release animals back into their natural habitats, Animal Wonders cares for non-releasable animals. The video explains the process of determining an animal's releasability, using Rook the Raven as a case study. It highlights the importance of professional evaluations and the options available for non-releasable animals, such as lifelong care or euthanasia. The goal is to ensure animals have a safe and fulfilling life in captivity.
