A couple of recent post on TSB have got me wondering about "what if" situations. What handicaps would prevent release into the wild; for example, blind in one eye? One limb paralyzed or missing? Very small size? etc. What do folks think, can a handicapped animal ever be released? :dono

When not to release a squirrel?
when their handicap makes them Easy prey!
Whether it is imprinted or physical!
