It doesn't make you look like a cruel person, you're doing what you can do in your situation. That's all you can do.

Are there any veterinary clinics near you? Try calling them and explaining the situation, if you can get it to them, one of their staff may be willing to transport it. I know at my clinic, we often went above and beyond for animals and people needing it. It's worth a try. Good luck.
There are clinics, but the only one I knew of that accepted wildlife closed down. I can try calling a vet here, but I am doubtful they will.

They don't need to accept wildlife, but they may have suggestions on how to get it to the rehab facility. It's worth a try, vet clinics are used to getting all different kinds of questions, and they have a lot of contacts, so they may know someone who would transport it or have some other suggestions for you.

Think I will take my trauma card off the table, though the video doesnt show much I see no signs ( as you said) of phsyical injury; no scaring of former injury, no loss of hair. Im going to lean on ear infection next; due to seeing dogs with bad inner ear infections act the same way; fascinating that the other squirrels reject it so.

I am not a vet or anything but it also looks like a strong case of ear infection to me.
