Why can’t the animals at Trailside be released back into the wild?

Trailside Museums and Zoo is a home for rehabilitated wild animals. The animals we care for have permanent injuries or were raised by humans. Unfortunately, because of this, they cannot be released into the wild. The animals are well taken care of and receive proper medical attention for the duration of their lives.
