Many of the injured animals and virtually all of those orphaned are released back to their wild, natural habitat. Some are injured too badly to survive and must be euthanized. A few of the injured regain their health but cannot fend for themselves any longer, remaining at Sarvey to grow old and educate others, especially the school buses filled with children that Baxter loves to teach. They form a circle around Kaye and listen intently as she begins to teach. She has a friendly, firm, experienced way with the students and the teachers are as tuned in to her presentation as their students are.
Human beings have a lot to learn from animals.
You will never see a hawk, cougar, bobcat, owl, falcon, or any predatory wild animal doing a drive-by killing. They will never kill because you don't look the way they do or because you don't believe the way they do. They only hunt when they're hungry and only what they can eat. Baxter has the attention of every fidgety 5th grader as she teaches lessons that go far beyond the animal kingdom and Sarvey Wildlife Center. It's not uncommon to see a crow chase a hawk across the sky.
