If you cannot euthanize an animal, it is OK to keep it for education.

If you cannot euthanize an animal, it is OK to keep it for education.

• A. True
• B. Only for a short period
• C. False
• D. Under supervision

Answer: (C)

In wildlife rehabilitation, using an animal for education requires proper authorization and a licensed, appropriate facility. Simply not being able to euthanize does not by itself justify keeping an animal for education. Non-releasable animals used for education must be placed in an approved educational program or sanctuary with the right permits, standards for housing and care, and supervision by trained staff. Without that formal authorization and arrangement, keeping the animal for education is not allowed and can be harmful to the animal and against the law. So, the statement is false.
