The rescue team answered a call about a barn owl who was floundering on the ground, unable to fly. Birds often become entangled in dangerous, sharp manja—kite string coated in powdered glass—and they can seriously injure themselves as they try to break free. Animal Rahat and PETA India consistently push for bans on the strings, help authorities confiscate them, and urge children in our humane education courses not to use them. While this hapless fellow was hopelessly wrapped in discarded kite string, it was, fortunately, cotton. Back at the clinic, vets carefully snipped away the twine, and a thorough exam found that—even luckier—his delicate wing bones had not been fractured. Rescuers watched him rise into the sky and then scoured the area for any other harmful threads.
