And most people who attempt to raise wild mammals or birds fail in their superficial role as foster parents of wildlife. That is the double-edged opinion of Dr. Gary Duke, a wildlife professor in charge of the raptor rehabilitation program at the College of V e t e r i n a r y M e d i c i n e . University of Minnesota. i feel compelled to harp on this subject." said Dr Duke, adding that "most wild orphans were not orphans in the first place." The wildlife professor said people who adopt wild animals often believe they are helping a motherless nestling, when in fact, the act of kindness may become a kiss of death for the so-called orphan. The typical backyard rabbit nest is a good example to illustrate - the problems associated with misguided interest, he says. During daylight hours, a lactating rabbit will not make many trips to the nest to nurse her young. If the nest is located in a flowerbed near the kitchen window, observers may panic if the parent rabbit is not around. "With good intentions, the concerned person or persons remove the young rabbits from their nest," Dr. Duke con tinued. "The following day the rabbits start going downhill, and one of them dies. The would-be foster parents call the DNR or the Fish and Wildlife Service or they call us. "If the rabbits have not been out of the nest too long, I tell the caller, - Put 'em back and let the mother do her thing'. Of ten, however, too much time has elapsed and the foster parents end up with a shoebox full of dead rabbits." The adoption of wild babies is a perplexing problem. On one hand, wildlife agencies "have encouraged the public to respect and appreciate wildlife. On the other, the affection mania has been responsible for the untimely demise of mammals and birds that were loved to death as short-lived pets. The problem centers on the individual animal.

Do losses from adoption seriously,affect a healthy wildlife population" Argued in a technical vein of hard-nosed biology, which allows for some cropping of surpluses from any species, probably not. The same parameters that apply to pheasants would apply to songbirds, for example. But it would take Old World courage to suggest a recipe for robin pie," once a table delicacy in the south. And adjustments must be made to protect dwindling populations. What would happen, conservationists ask, if people were allowed to take individuals from the Kirtland's warbler population, an endangered species.? Some wildlife managers believe the problem is a matter of common sense, humane considerations, and per spective. They question whether "respect" and ' love" should be used interchangeably when establishing a per spective for wildlife. The play on words also plays on human emotions and impressions, they say. "Profit" is still another reason why people snatch babies from wild nurseries. A limited number of people engage in illegal imports of exotic animals. "These people attempt to sell the animals for profit," said David Swendsen, assistant special-agent-in- charge at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Regional Office in Twin Cities, Minn. Despite the laws of courts and nature, people still tinker with wildlife in obnoxious ways. In doing so, Swendsen said, they gamble with potential fines, embarrassment, and prison sentences for serious convictions-such as selling migratory birds. In 1975, three Minnesota residents were convicted in U.S. district courts of selling migratory birds, a felony under the Migratory Bird Treaty act, he said. Special Agent Swendsen offered a philosophical com ment on the adoption of wild babies. "If you want a pet...buy a dog, cat, horse or mule. The wild pet can bring more grief than pleasure."
