It is also illegal in West Virgina to rehabilitate wild animals without having a permit. Same goes for Wisconsin, where I am. Fairly hefty fine and jail time if found guilty. http://www.wvdnr.gov/2007news/07news069.shtm
Luckily, there is a rehabilitiation center not too far from my house - I make numerous stops there with critters. Most recently, an injured hen mallard - she had the majority of her scalp missing. I'd post a pic, but it is too graphic. How she was still alive I will never understand. I have a feeling they may have put her to sleep ... at least she is out of misery.
The pictures of the faws are adorable! Makes me wish they'd stay that small!!
