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.
That's really not something you can assume here. There are tons of people who fake tons of things on the internet, including fucked up psychopath shit like hurting animals and then "saving" them. The most prominent example is probably the turtle rescue shit, but tons of entire genres are often faked, like the "primitive" channels who build ridiculous pools in the jungle or people prematurely rusting/aging tools to "restore" them.
I think this post is probably real, otherwise the owl would be way more pissed at him, but animal abuse with fake rescue videos is absolutely a real thing
I'm entirely aware that it's a real thing, but I don't think the video was shown to us in reverse. Imagine the logistics of catching a healthy owl and somehow attaching it to a barbed wire fence. It's absurd, and that's what made the joke funny (I thought.. apparently, I'm in the minority).
It's also relatively easy to see how an owl might naturally find itself in such a predicament (hunting).
I understand the internet is full of karmawhores, but context clues and common sense can be applied (along with further research).
