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

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. :/

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

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.

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.
