Compassion for our fellow man, ani- mals, domestic and wild, and the envi- ronment comes from knowledge gained through observation, past history and receptive feelings. Due to the fact that man has encroached on the homes and food sources of the surrounding wildlife, many people feel an obligation to care for the animals affected by these actions. This concern and empathy brought about the establishment of CROW, more than 38 years ago. Through the years, CROW has become much more than a nonprofit veterinary hospital. CROW has become a Center for the rehabilitation of our wildlife and education of the public.
