Local Woman's Act of Kindness Saves Barn Owl from Barbed Wire Trap

Local Woman Rescues Barn Owl from Barbed Wire Fence A heartwarming story unfolded recently in Oregon, where a woman and her sister-in-law rescued a barn owl caught on a barbed wire fence. Lexie, the author of the video documenting the event, described the scene: "My sister-in-law was driving near my house and saw this owl stuck on a barbed wire fence." The video shows the owl struggling, its wings spread, clearly distressed. Lexie and her sister-in-law carefully freed the bird, using gloves and a towel to protect themselves and the owl. "It's really stuck in there," Lexie says in the video, highlighting the difficulty of the rescue. The rescued owl was then placed in a box and transported to the Chinimini Wildlife Center. The video concludes with the owl being safely received at the center, a testament to the kindness of strangers and the dedication of wildlife rescue organizations. The quick thinking of the sister-in-law, who spotted the owl in distress, and the swift action of Lexie and her sister-in-law highlight the importance of community involvement in wildlife conservation. The video serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of humans and nature, and the positive impact that even small acts of kindness can have.
