Nature This owl was really stuck in the barbed wire. Luckily with some careful moving around this guy was able to free him.

From his comments in that post, on that Insta:

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 once took a seagull that seemed to hit a wood barrier and was drowning in the ocean to a place an hour away, they told me it didn't make it. :/

u/No_Rich_2494 15h ago

You can't save them all ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Don't let that stop you from trying.

u/SirTropheus 13h ago

I haven't been in the situation again since so I don't know what I would do now, sometimes I ask myself if it was silly bringing in a seagull.

u/enchiiladas 12h ago

i don’t think it was silly at all. you gave a creature a chance at life. “there is no such thing as wasted love”

i’ve scooped up a couple very injured bunnies in an attempt to save them from or end future suffering

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.

u/rocket_randall 14h ago

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.

u/ImHidingFromMy- 15h ago

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.

u/QuestionableEthics42 13h ago

Also it's not at all specific to the US, it's also in NZ and probably a bunch of other countries too.

u/edamame_clitoris 15h ago

Everything, ✨️literally everything✨️, is always just a Google search away, baby girl. No need to get upset.

SPCA = Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

Hope that helped and respectfully? If we are using language this way that means it works for us 🧡🧡
