SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. – A Spokane Valley deputy and several community members worked together to try and save an owl trapped in barbed wire.
The incident occurred on Halloween morning when the deputy responded to a call about the owl caught at the top of a fence.
The group managed to calm the bird and began untangling its wing from the old, rusty barbed wire.
After freeing the owl, the deputy wrapped it in a towel and placed it in their car, turning on the heater to provide warmth.
Despite their efforts, the owl died as a result of its injuries a few days later.
This story highlights the community’s compassion and teamwork in trying to save the injured bird.
