Tell provided insight into the use of rules, regulations, and challenges of administering drugs to free-ranging wildlife, including concerns for animal welfare, human food safety, and public health. Beaver added that the discussion included information about how the Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act permits veterinarians to prescribe extra-label uses of animal drugs and approved human drugs for animals, including those for wildlife.

Golab, American Veterinary Medical Association Golab moderated Session Five and summarized presentations on the role of veterinary medicine in wildlife research. Wild provided an overview of the multiple roles that veterinarians play in wildlife research.

Golab touched on Miller's list that noted understanding and respect for the rules, responsibilities, and differences in professional perspectives and standards can lead to consistent application of animal welfare laws to field studies. Golab pointed to additional challenges Miller mentioned for consideration, including the availability of wildlife medicine experts in the field and oversight settings; navigating the rules related to veterinary practice, including ELDU; and the inability of veterinarians to participate in research activities that fall under their practice authority and responsibility.

Sikes shared that a key challenge for wildlife researchers is to consider how to foster broader recognition that oversight bodies do have the latitude to approve other means for ending an animal's life in these circumstances. The terms "lethal take" and "humane killing" are probably not found in protocol forms that are not focused on wildlife, Sikes added, but these are likely the most applicable terms for many instances involving the death of wild animals.

SESSION SEVEN SYNTHESIS: TRANSITION OF WILD ANIMALS TO CAPTIVE SETTINGS AND HOUSING CHALLENGES Session Chair: Elaine Kim, Colorado State University Kim summarized the session presentations and highlighted that wildlife researchers act not only as scientists and subject-matter experts but also can act as logistical coordinators and multi-jurisdictional regulatory experts to navigate the complexities of transporting wild animals from the field setting to establishing a captive colony in the laboratory setting. This may be aided by cultivating good rapport and relationships with IACUCs and local, state, federal, and international regulatory bodies.

Maglia also reemphasized the challenges associated with IACUCs finding appropriate expertise to evaluate wildlife protocols. Maglia said the speakers discussed the current state of various animal welfare guidance and how they could apply it to wildlife.

For a biologist or a researcher in this situation, the considerations might be different. According to Bryan, for a PI in the field, who is not a licensed veterinarian in that state, the AUP and the IACUC permit lethal capture, but only for the AUP-designated species; therefore, a problem arises when state regulations allow anyone to put an animal down, but the AUP and approving IACUC do not allow for this option.
