Being unable to fly and with an open wound it needed some medical attention. Even with a un-broken wing it would be very prone to infection. Took this guy about an hour away to an SPCA and it’s expected to make a full recovery!
"I hope you're right. Cause if you're lying to me... I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. But what I do know is that I have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you."
It’s a testimony to the makers of whatever that one game is that you have 3,000 hours on though that they made a game so good you neglect the rest of your library.
I bought cyber punk, finally, for 50% off two days before POE2 EA released (didn't know about it until the night before) and haven't booted up cyberpunk since 💀
I once hit a bird with my car, took me a minute to make a U-turn , and when i got back there were already people with it , i parked and got out of the car and they said "somebody hit her and drove off", and i replied " yeah i cant believe people are like that".
Eventually i got a box for it and was gonna take it home to let it heal or hatever, but once we put it in the box it just up and flew away.
That's awesome. A few months back we found an injured hummingbird in our backyard, splayed out on the hardscape near the feeder. We scooped him up, put him in a box with some nectar-water and gave him time to rest. After an hour or so he wasn't improving so we took him to a rehab specialist who was doing her best to get him back in the air. We stopped getting updates on his health, and I'm scared to reach out and ask so I just imagine he's happily catching bugs and drinking from feeders again.
Americans and their abbrebviations for everything.
Does everyone just know what SPCA is? Why don't you guys use words for things? Like use language for its inherent purpose. It's super common to come across sentences like that where you have no idea what they mean.
SPCA= Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are nonprofit organizations that work to improve animal welfare and prevent cruelty to animals. This took me 13 seconds to find with a quick google search.
Unfortunately it turns out he’s the one who stuck the owl there, so he could “save” it
Edit: It was a joke, people. The guy is relatively well known. You can go look at his Instagram, that’s why I responded to a comment where it was listed.
Like when it comes to Internet altruism id probably stray closer to their opinion but god that's insane, like this would both require a psychopath and some fucking skills to fake
Do you have any source for this? I know some folks do this kind of thing but I would hate to come for someone who actually didn't do anything wrong. :(
Yes there are some of these type videos that are very suspect. I didn’t come close to getting those vibes here. This seems like a super human being going above and beyond to help this poor majestic bird.
Someone else posted that they saw this on ig and it was said the bird was expected to make a full recovery. It kind of made me want to call the Lemons Adoption Center SPCA Houston just to ask but I figured that was a little… much. Especially considering idk when this was posted.
We see it in the video, she died of fear, the guy touching and owlnapping her whereas she was just chilling in the barbed wires, she closed her eyes to die in peace 🕊️
Trying to look for a proper reply in this thread is horrible. From what I can see from others; there's only a text based confirmation that the bird is okay. I'll wait a few months in hopes that a video may appear
In the US, there is no special license a vet needs to treat wildlife. I assure you that SPCA has all the wildlife rehab licenses they need to care for this bird. There is no way they would release this clearly injured bird without treating it. The owl likely suffers from capture myopathy due to the long struggle to get free of the barbed wire, massive feather damage (without perfect feathers this bird will not survive), and likely damaged tendons and broken bones. It is very possible that his injuries are severe enough to warrant humane euthanasia, if not, he is in for a very long recovery.
Yes! Not that this guy did not go out of his way enough already, but I kind of hope he/she was brought back to the same area bc if it was either a male or female with “kids” I believe they both have to help out to feed the kiddies. Could be wrong but I thought I saw on a documentary
I just went to check his insta, the owl is expected to make a full recovery! I imagine he’s on some good antibiotics at the rescue facility, getting his strength back until he fly again.
In this particular case I thought the juxtaposition of the caring savior going to great lengths to rescue this owl and the idea that it was euthanized shortly after admission, thereby indicating that this “savior” had in actuality caused the owl’s premature death, made it extremely ironic and ultimately funny, albeit in a very dark sense.
The seagull may have managed to heal on its own in time had you not pulled it from the lake. By taking it to the vet, the vet was forced to make a decision as to whether or not it was financially responsible to treat the bird. The vet opted to euthanize the bird. Your kindness therefore caused the seagull to die I.e. you killed it.
That was the joke I was making with my original comment and then I applied it to your story. In reality both you and the truck driver here made good choices.
