Never put yourself or others in danger

Animal law:
Most wild animal collisions are accidental and unavoidable and are seen as such by animal protection legislation. Any wild animal that is injured can be legally picked up and taken into care with the intention of releasing it once it has recovered.

Approach:
Every wild animal has an inbuilt "flee" instinct triggered at various distances to your approach. An injured animal that is still mobile will attempt to flee and may further endanger itself.
