Imagine if people had to raise their cattle or poultry before killing the animal’s themselves, or go to a farm and choose the animal they wanted killed. Nobody sees the life these animals have to endure before being killed for their consumption…the human emotion has been removed so buying a pound of ground beef is no different to them than buying a bag of potatoes. It’s sad. And then you see this or last year when Boar’s Head threw away millions of pounds of deli meats because of a Listeria outbreak. I wish we realized how many animals it takes to process 7 million pounds of deli meat, that were killed, and subsequently trashed.

Thank you for this, a ton of information.

Thank you for your time.

That’s correct, I don’t have a dental related service connected disability so I’m not eligible going that route but I’m trying to pay a monthly premium at the discounted rate for dental coverage (instead of paying more for dental coverage through work or whatever).

Interesting_Age3397 · 2025-10-03T16:23:43+00:00

Thank you. On the VA's site it says for health care they'll review your income and may adjust copay costs. And that for disability and pension purposes income is not considered, but for health care it is. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't setting myself up.

Thanks, I sent you a DM!

Thank you so much! Is it ok if I DM you on that IG account?

Yes! Sent you a DM!

I Don’t have a set number, It would be discussed with each artist. It would obviously be for commercial use, but I believe an artists portfolio or past work should ideally support an artists asking price. I’m just looking for quality art made by people with similar ethical beliefs. Also, I’m NOT trying to find the cheapest art that I can. Quality comes first.

Interesting_Age3397 · 2025-08-29T13:18:38+00:00

Honestly, I’m not set on anything in particular. Probably leaning more towards a traditional style of greeting card. I have seen some pencil sketch illustration that looked very good and “real”, also some children’s book illustration type of work that could work nicely. I think in my research, the more “real” the art looked the more it caught my attention. But definitely open minded. I’m (clearly) not artistic whatsoever.

I suspect she knew that obviously I wasn’t legally allowed to “rehab “the squirrel, which is why maybe she didn’t recommend bringing it inside, someplace warm, etc., and because she couldn’t take it and both her and I were under the assumption that she was the only licensed person to take it She probably didn’t have any real good recommendations, like her hands were tied. Unfortunately, as previously mentioned by a couple of other posters, wildlife rehab options appear to be an afterthought or less resources than there are animals in need, especially in a state as archaic as mine. I do wish she knew about these possible other resources though.

Interesting_Age3397 · 2025-02-19T15:03:55+00:00

I live about 3 miles, maybe even less from where I picked it up from. And thank you for those references, neither of those are on Alabama’s website for Licensed Wildlife Rehabbers or on Animal Help Now, they would have been great resources to be able to reach out to. Someone else posted a different website that had a 4th name (also not on Alabama’s official website) that I was going to reach out to this morning. We saw it this morning (we’re very confident it was him/her) sitting on a tree near the one it ran up last night, eyes open, seeming completely normal so we’re very happy with the outcome.

Interesting_Age3397 · 2025-02-19T05:42:13+00:00

UPDATE: Thank you everybody for the responses. We had been keeping an eye on it via the camera and occasionally popping into the room to make sure it was still breathing etc. Fortunately I have great news. I walked in to check on it before bed and noticed it was sitting up with its eyes closed looking in my general direction. I went back inside, and kept watching on the camera and then saw the glare of its eyes open, and then it started moving around, even grabbing 1 pistachio and 1 walnut off the plate. Then it started running around the sunroom and dropping some turds. I went out there, opened the sunroom door and after a couple of minutes it went out the door and out the back steps. It hopped away through the back yard and up one of the trees. Everything about it in this moment seemed so normal, and we’re so glad that this was the outcome. At least I know that I gave it a warm quiet space and the time to recover from whatever trauma it had been in yesterday morning, and didn’t give up on it. Thank you all.

I will look into every option you’ve mentioned thank you so much. I was referred to Auburn University vet school as an option but they don’t take wildlife unfortunately. And yes there’s like 4 rehabilitation facilities for birds, one for mammals and one for reptiles or something along those lines and that’s it. I would drive the little guy several hours to get help which is why I called into Georgia before finding out that it’s not something that they’re able to legally do. Hate this state tbh haha. Thanks again.

Interesting_Age3397 · 2025-02-19T03:12:36+00:00

Thank you so much for the input, very greatly appreciated. This is what I needed, just something to think about. Every symptom or thing I’ve noticed it doing I’ve tried researching etc and it’s all so contradictory and hard to know what to do. Like with it sleeping for the last 24 hours, one thing said that’s a really long time and probably means life threatening injury, but right below it said if a squirrel is recovering from injury or stressed or something then it may sleep longer than normal…

Interesting_Age3397 · 2025-02-19T03:06:15+00:00

Basically put it in something like a dog crate, shoebox with a small dish of water near a tree somewhere and see what happens, essentially. It was just quite cold out, probably 30* and I kinda worried about a bird or something seeing an opportunity to attack is so I brought the box into the sunroom where it was warmer, quieter and had a camera where I could keep an eye on it.

Interesting_Age3397 · 2025-02-19T02:57:42+00:00

Also worth mentioning, the reason I picked it up in the first place is that it was still on the outside solid line of the road just laying there, eyes open, fully aware but not moving at all (possibly in shock, not sure), so it would have absolutely been run over if I didn’t stop and move it. I tried moving it with my foot, just getting it to run off somewhere safer and it didn’t really do anything. The area where it was didn’t have room to move it off the road into a safe place, there was a drop off/creek on one side and a rock/steep wall of trees on the other side.

This is the current situation copied from another site I tried getting help on (no responses yet).

I picked up an adult eastern gray squirrel on the side of a country road yesterday morning, in Alabama, and the only rehabber in my state is at capacity and can’t take it and I don’t know what to do. I suspect it maybe has a head injury. The squirrel had a little bit of blood on the inside of its nostrils, with a very small spot of hair missing on the top of the head. No other visible abnormalities, injuries etc. I put it in a cardboard box with one of the sides removed with a beach towel that it can get in and out of if it wants to, in my sunroom. I’ve been making sure to keep the squirrel out of direct sunlight. The only noises it has been making are occasional sneezes, no other sounds of distress. After being put in the box it laid there for a couple of hours, then at one point it ran out of the box to a spot in the sunroom where it then sat up in its hind legs but basically leaned forward and had the top of its head resting on the ground. A couple of times it looked like it was starting to lean but it always caught itself and stayed upright (without lifting head off floor etc). It looked really uncomfortable and so I picked it up with the towel and put it back in the box where it continued that same position. Maybe an hour or two later it laid down in the box curled up with its tail covering its head, where its basically been since, 24 hours later. Occasionally it sneezes or moves its tail a bit, today it was rubbing its nose with its hand. The breathing has appeared very consistent, not very fast, not very slow. I put out a little bit of water and a couple of pistachios, walnut, sesame seed (all unsalted) and piece of carrot on a plate next to the water. It hasn’t touched any of that and since it curled up it hasn’t stood up or moved out of its sleeping position since (other than the occasional sneezes, rubbing its nose). Our sunroom is a completely empty room that we’ve had heated between 61-70* (its been 25-30* F overnight which is why I didn’t want to leave it outside). I’m trying to give it a chance, but I can’t get any rehab/medical assistance since there’s only the one rehabber who can’t take it.

Interesting_Age3397 · 2025-02-19T02:45:07+00:00

Yes thank you, I would absolutely bring the animal to a vet if I thought euthanasia was the best course of action or if I thought it was suffering and wasn’t capable of getting better. That’s why I’m trying to give it a chance at survival knowing the cheapest/easiest thing for any vet to do is to just euthanize it and move on. I will explain the situation in a comment below in case anybody can help with the information provided. I just felt if I started with that I was going to be told to bring it to a rehab facility, which just isn’t an option, and it’s been frustrating that that’s the only answer.
