True or False: A raptor with a broken leg or wing should be euthanized as these bones cannot be set or cast successfully.

The statement is false because not all broken bones in raptors are beyond repair. Many raptors can survive after being treated for broken legs or wings with appropriate veterinary care, which may include setting or casting the bone. Advances in veterinary medicine allow for many fractures to be treated successfully, enabling the bird to heal and return to the wild if its injuries are managed effectively.

Veterinarians and wildlife rehabilitators are trained to assess the severity of the injuries and determine the best course of action, which may include specialized surgeries or rehabilitation techniques. Euthanasia is typically considered only in cases where an animal's quality of life would be severely compromised due to its injuries or when the injuries are deemed untreatable. Thus, the care and potential for recovery of a raptor with a broken leg or wing should be thoroughly evaluated before making such a definitive decision.
