Even adult animals shouldn’t just be released wherever. We had someone last weekend want to bring in a fox, but they didn’t really want it to get released back to their property since they have chickens. They told the person it’s not like you can just toss an animal wherever. They have families, some species don’t do well alone, and if you drop them someplace different than where they’re from it’s not like they magically know where food, water, or shelter are to be found. How well would any of us do dropped in a random place we’ve never been with none of our stuff?
Rehabbers don’t charge you if you bring them an animal. You can even text them a pic and they can say bring it in or they’ll come get it or just put it back where you found it. If we came upon a human in distress we wouldn’t try to treat them or diagnose them on our own (hopefully!) so why do so many want to do that to a random animal?
It’s good you at least tried to talk some sense into them! Animals are fragile in some ways, but still amazingly strong and adaptable at the same time. Good luck, little bun!
Yeah, I’m more in tune with nature and animal welfare than most non-hunters in my area.
We take deer off the landscape as a form of population management since their natural predators have been eliminated when my state was still a colony.
Keeps farmers happy, keeps people from hitting them with vehicles, and helps keep the family fed.

Oh, very nice. I also go deer hunting for much the same reasons.
