I love this thread and think about this sort of thing a lot because I do work with wild animals, so part of my work is abducting animals to collect data and then putting them back where they had been (I joke that they now have an alien abduction story to tell their friends) and I try to give them a little fruit afterwards, like they just went to the doctor’s office and get a lollipop afterwards, all while I marvel at their cuteness
Also brings up a fun related idea of an ‘ambassador’ tiny, that is many too injured to be in the wild but helps spread awareness of tinies importance to the ecosystem with a normal sized handler
