History
On Wednesday, March 19th, Soarin'Hawk received a call from an officer from Decatur, In. who saw an owl hanging in a barb-wired fence by a highway. Upon rescuing the owl, we found that the owl was twisted and impaled in the wire of the fence. Wayne used wire cutters and carefully cut the owl out of the fence.
Upon examination in the ICU, we found wire imbedded in a joint on both wings. One of the wings had extensive tissue damage and the joint was broken. The damage in both wings were non-repairable and the owl was humanely euthanized.
