So I don't really think there is a right answer to this, so this is just seeing what other people make of this particular conundrum and where exactly the lines lie:
(Note, this is not about a bird in this case, but the theory would still apply so putting it in this section where more people might see it)
So, back on my Cambodia trip in February, when I went to Prek Toal, when we stopped off at the ranger centre to buy our admission tickets and pick up our guide, we went up to the main building, and when we came back down, someone had put this little fellow outside the rangers office.
He's a Slow Loris (Bengal I think?) and while I regret not asking at the time, my impression from the situation was that he was either being bought in having been rescued, or, being put there ready to be taken to release - the spot he was in definitely implied transition.
My question is; at what point does an animal stop being tickable if it's being rescued?
For comparrison;
I WOULD tick an injured animal that someone had just picked up to help (for instance, my tick of green sea turtle is a view of a baby one in someones hands after it had gone the wrong way up the beach and was being returned to the sea) or on a smaller scale, I just ticked a field mouse in a trap last week.
but
I WOULDN'T tick an animal in a pen at a rehabilitation sanctuary.
But at what point would the line be drawn - would this be a valid tick as it wasn't in a permenant resident enclosure, or would it not be because it was in a cage? If it was in the exact same transference situation but just being held by hand (bad idea given the venom) would that make a difference?
Just interested to hear different people's takes?
