      I think that this quote from the episode applies well, "The more you learn about wildlife, the more you can appreciate..."
      They were referring to nature and the animal's natural habitat specifically, but I think that this could apply to the animal itself as well. The more we understand wild animals (or domestic, in fact all animals for that matter) the more we can appreciate them/their needs and empathize with them and their deep/complex emotions. Animals, especially wild animals are so subtle in the way the communicate, and the more we humans learn about them the better we can understand them. And, ideally, live in harmony, respecting their territories and lifestyles (ie stop encroaching on their habitats and threatening their existence, and provide them with more alternatives when we do). One day in the future maybe we'll find the perfect balance that allows for humans and nature to coexist and thrive equally.. Hopefully, if it's not too late.

    • @FarmerFpv
      @FarmerFpv Месяц назад

      Yes, and they were not experienced they failed Billie the badger. They interacted with her way too much. At our rescue we never let the wild animals imprint on us. We always rotate people and do not have the same person feed the animal every day. We also wear masks. We bottle-feed wild animals with species-correct sock puppets or stuffed animals. We don't hold them like lap dogs or tease them to play with our hands. They failed a second badger as well. Badgers are not hard to release to the wild if you do it correctly. This rescue center should be shut down. Ridiculous to say thank you to them when they purposely fail the badges due to being overly attached to them and forgetting what their job is. This is a problem with many private rescues they are not professionals. They are overly emotional animal lovers who should not be working at a rescue. You have to be a strong person to work at a rescue. She is weak and lets logic go out the window.

      Tbf, they said that where they are didn't have any other professional animal rescue sites and these guys just started taking in wild animals recently because no one else seemed to be in their community. Imo, shows that their local government was already failing their environment when a private rescue is all they have (and their local government has no excuse when other parts of Texas should have more professional wildlife rescue/rehab centers). I commend them for being the only ones to rescue them (even if their methods weren't the best) and to at least give their non-rehabilitative animals the best life they can have, but I think what should be done is if other wildlife professionals who are better trained at rehabilitation worked there and provided proper training - I doubt where they live even gave them access to proper training, to begin with.
      Punishing people doesn't teach people anything, whereas giving people the tools to be better educated will help them better (especially if they live somewhere with government/leaders who should care but don't).

Wolves appear to have a hinged body when they run,as opposed to dogs. It was incredible to see one on our streets, because we never saw one outside of training or wilderness trips. I am in full agreeance with you that seeing someone walking a badger would definitely be a memorable moment for sure.

      Look up "service gator". There is a gator who is a licensed service animal. I believe almost any species can imprint on humans, given the people are loving and hopefully experienced at training. Bears, large cats, fish, spiders...... when a human is an animal's source of food, and social interaction is similar to a family unit(especially when animals are raised this way from youth), then I am always amazed at what animal can become tamed. When 2 animals that would normally be considered predator and prey come together with a commonallity, then they can build cross-species friendships. Just like people are drawn together by similar interest or life experience, so can animals build bonds. If an animal wants for nothing, then why does it need to become territorial or predatory? Thank you internet for allowing us to share adorable videos of these odd bonds.

    Just because this is an animal does not mean it is stupid. This is pretty much how the wolf was turned into the domestic dog breeds that are loved around the world today. Why would this badger want to leave an environment with plenty of food, clean water, housing and plenty of play time without stress of something trying to kill it? This is a very smart badger, that figured it out in one generation. Now it lives the best life. It is the other badgers that stay wild that are not too smart. I have often wondered that very thing about foxes. They must see how dogs are taken care off. You would think a smarter than average fox would figure it out and just start living with a human.
