Well said. Most cases of "rescue" are anything but. However, all the northwesterns I sent to Steve were definitely doomed. The population was clinging to existence on a small patch of habitat. It's all gone now. Got leveled by the bulldozer in the middle of winter.

I feel pretty confident that the ones I was able to save are definitely better off now.
