040-45 Wyo. Code R. § 45-3
(a) Persons who, as a job requirement, are directed to rescue birds and provide short term care to birds that are injured or distressed at industrial sites are exempt from the regulation. However, such persons shall obtain a permit from the Department issued under Chapter 10 Regulation For Importation, Possession, Confinement, Transportation, Sale and Disposition of Live Wildlife, revised as of January 22, 2014, and which does not include any later amendments or editions of the incorporated matter. A copy of all Commission regulations can be viewed at any Department Regional Office or the Headquarters Office. Such person(s) shall not advertise or otherwise promote their services as a wildlife rehabilitator.
(b) Veterinarians licensed under the provisions of state statute may render emergency care and treatment to sick or injured wildlife without a permit issued under this regulation. Whenever a DVM renders such care or treatment, the DVM shall transfer responsibility for such wildlife either to a permitted wildlife rehabilitator or to the Department within thirty (30) days of initial contact with the wildlife, unless an extension beyond thirty (30) days is granted by the Department. Any care and treatment rendered shall not create a financial obligation to the Department or permitted wildlife rehabilitator without prior approval. Any DVM may euthanize any sick or injured wildlife defined in Title 23, except mammals classified as endangered or threatened species by Title 50, Code of Federal regulations (CFR), Part 17.11 ( 50 CFR 17.11 ), revised as of October 1, 2012, and does not include any later amendments or editions of the incorporated matter, if the DVM determines that no other reasonable action would be practical, humane, or effective for the rehabilitation of the wildlife. If the wildlife is of a type not authorized to be rehabilitated by a permitted wildlife rehabilitator, the DVM shall immediately notify the Department and the Department shall determine disposition of the wildlife. A copy of 50 CFR Part 17.11 can be viewed at any Department Regional Office or the Headquarters Office.
