1. Kill it
2. Take it to a vet, the leg will have to be set.
The latter can be quite expensive but in my area at least there are a couple
of clinics that will work on wild critters at a reasonable cost. Call
around and ask. Check with wildlife rehabbers too...they won't do the
medical part (set leg) but they may know someone who can.

wings. It might be cool to take it to a taxidermist and have it
stuffed, though.

"white nose syndrome"[1]. They are a key species in the ecosystem. Nice
to keep as many alive as possible and get them back into the wild to
procreate.
[1] Recent press suggests that the white fungus causing this is a
European strain that North American bats aren't able to combat. (It
causes them to wake too early from hibernation when there is no food in
the cold months.

harm one, but I wouldn't spend money to fix one, either. But it would
be cool to have one stuffed.
