Reading through my post it sounds rather harsh to Spaa so apologies (it's too late to tone it down now!) - know you thought you were doing the right thing and you did say at the outset you weren't looking for a pet! The essential points still stand but hope you won't be deterred from coming on WAB in the future for fear of having your head bitten off! More importantly, for the sake of any wildlife you come across that needs help, the site is an excellence source for seeking assistance with injured/abandoned animals and most people are forgiving of any mistakes made

Again, please let us know what happens.
