Officer Meneses provided this owl with the most gentle and meticulous care. Such a great example for ALL of us in our relationships with pets and people alike.
Great comment! I noticed you used the word “pet”, but this animal wasn’t a pet. A better word might be “animals”. The sad thing is that most people will watch this and and feel heartened and inspired, yet go eat a chicken for dinner. Hopefully by watching this we can realize that all animals, even birds, are worthy of moral consideration.
One of us might have to do this so anyone be prepared this person is showing us how to do it. The owl understood the human was helping which is why it was calm.
Me either I would have thought of all the toxic stuff like lighter fluid , alcohol, acetone which all would have probably ruined the owl's feathers now if it had been chewing gum I would have known peanut butter would dissolve it but now I have a new tip in my repertoire vegetable oil great idea
Those glue traps are a bad for so many different animals, not just the “pests” your trying to catch. Prefect example right here. Glad you could help that owl.
Outdoor glue traps are whats bad. Other animals, like this owl, are drawn to the struggling prey and get caught themselves. Or it can catch onto something bigger like a cat or hawk who have no chance of getting it off by themselves. Indoor glue traps that are regularly checked are humane because some people prefer catch and release as opposed to kill.
@@Tempest-jc3me Respectfully, I disagree. I wish I could unsee the consequence of both outdoor AND indoor glue traps... innocent mice, chipmunks, squirrels, etc. who chewed-off their own arms & legs, birds with broken wings & beaks glued shut... simply trying to free themselves from the toxic glue. There was no "releasing" THEM. If the intent is to catch & release, there are humane alternatives. Please... don't fund/continue the demand for glue traps. The consequences of using them to "catch" innocent little creatures is unthinkable. From my heart, I humbly thank you.💕
Please help spread the word: Don't EVER use glue traps, an inhumane product that should have been banned/illegal long ago. They cause the most heartless, horrific & unnecessary suffering. Thank you. God bless you.💕🙏💕
So glad she knew to use oil on the adhesive as a solvent. Most people don't know this. It's the best remedy for cleaning stubborn tree sap from fabric, as well.
It makes me cry when the animal is so calm and knows you're there to help it, especially wild animals like this that have never had any human interaction
Hate to burst your bubble, and if it was just you, I'd ignore it. But since other nature lovers read this. ALL raptors are dangerous. Do not attempt what you saw here if you are not trained and familiar. That owl was not "calm" and "knowing you are there to help", it is saving its energy to escape. Which means it may still attack when it is recharged.
@@m4rvinmartian Relax, you're gonna give yourself a stomach ulcer worrying about the well-meaning idiots who're fated to get slashed from being motivated by these videos
@@paulsawczyc5019 they're really not. they dont have the brain power for nobility, especially owls. owls are dumb as bricks, they are designed to silently kill things and thats it. they dont feed their children equally, unlike kestrels, and are uncaring if the youngest one starves. they will feed the carcass to its siblings. they will destroy eggs of other birds they find in their territory. they're cool animals and very graceful to look at when they fly. but they are still just non-sapient animals and its important to remember that for your safety and theirs.
These are the problems with traps, or any poison type of baits etc. .... you always snag the unintended. You have to really think about the consequences. Thank God this lady found him and patiently helped the poor little soul. Praises Officer Meneses!!!!
if I remember correctly these, alongside even slug pelets are banned now in the UK. these kinds of traps do not discriminate against any creature. in the Geneva convention there are clauses that prevent and outlaw the use of weapons that do not discriminate. these kinds of traps are no different, just on a smaller scale
Wow this woman was amazing. This owl was really lucky that she was the person that helped him because he really needed the cleanup to be done right and she did it.
Owls are such an amazing animal. It is people like this officer, that make a difference in the lives of animals, and in this case a very beautiful one indeed! 😊
Now all we need to do is clone her character, put it in a syringe, say it's a vaccine for the manufactured Chinese bioweapon (aka Covid 19) and watch the world change for the better. 🙄😊 Well at least it sounds good. Have a great day.
As an empath, my assessment is that there's no hope for a kind future in America or any laissez-faire capitalist matrices (have you quietly listened to American young people today? They're endlessly judgmental, materialist, Machiavellian monsters). If pure self-centeredness doesn't claim an individual here, tribe obsession does (family, race, politics, sex, etc). But it is good to see a small percentage of people who are presumably holding out in the fire... There are countries who are doing much better tho. Finland just easily utterly eradicated homelessness (it wasn't hard either... they did it in less than a year).
One of the many things I'd like to be able to hear from animals is how they experience moments like these. We often think they know we're trying to help them, and we're probably right - but it would be interesting to hear about it from the perspective of the animals. Like this owl - at what point did he realise the lovely officer was there to help him, not to have him for lunch? Was it a quick understanding, or did it slowly dawn on him? Was he cooperating by staying still, or was he just resigned to his fate, or terrified?
The concept of assistance / aid / help is not foreign to MOST species (mammals most certainly anyway but many avian species as well). It is observed from time to time, obviously mothers and (and fathers among a few species) will give help to their young when they are in distress or injured. But even outside their own family humans have sometimes observed animals trying to help other animals (a raccoon that got stuck in a storm drain comes to mind, 3 other raccoons were trying to tear open the metal bars to let their stuck friend out). The concept is obviously not alien to them, many species are intelligent enough to either attempt to aid or understand there are other animals trying to help them. I would imagine that this owl, after probably a minute or two of direct physical contact with the human, realized "She is not exhibited predator behavior, she would have eaten me by now. She is not a predator.. but what does she want?". I think the owl was content to realize the human wasn't a predator, probably didn't understand the motivation over her behaviors until after his/her wing was freed, the blanket removed and could look directly at the human again and probably wonder to itself something to the effect of: "Huh. My wing isn't stuck, the furless ape isn't hurting me or trying to eat me. It has fixed my wing. Fascinating." ... or something along those lines of it's owl-limited intellect. Suffice to say, it was self-aware enough (a relatively intelligent species as well) to comprehend the basics that the human intended no harm at the very least.
@@Hathur That's a pretty convincing take and maybe a plausible one. Often I watch these videos and I too would love to know what the animal is experiencing. Sometimes rabbit or squirrel rescues have descriptions that focus on the animal just freezing up with fear, maybe warning that this is unavoidable behaviour for them but humans can still help if the animal's need is greater- like a trap or stuck in a hole and can't escape. Maybe it's true- we can help, but they'll always fear. But you perhaps never know, and it's very encouraging to wonder that perhaps some species can understand they are being helped, even if they have no idea what that huge thing is or why it is helping.
I'd like to think that since birds groom thier feathers a lot, it may follow that if their feathers get coated and they can't groom the gunk off, that they could possibly understand that another creature - working the same area - could be helping.
@@Hathur You humanized the owl too much, but they are very intelligent birds. They think in pictures, not words, in general scientific testing, they recognize familiar locations and familiar sights the most. Immediate reaction is fight or flight, and as the reaction wears off, the animal is no longer going to exhibit signs of panic. Many animals at that point just focus on trying to get away and won't stay calm or wait, but due to the increased intelligence of avian animals, owls in particular, it waited until it was released. As cool as it sounds, the owl wouldn't have been thinking "furless ape..." or "fascinating..." or anything like that haha, that's strictly human thought. Just more or less, no harm plus patience equates to a calm animal because they are going to do what causes them the least distress.
@@phoenixflamegames1 Don't be naive man, any trap will almost always have consequences on other animals. Any rat trap would also be cable of catching any small critter the size of a rat or mice, or harming larger ones. Like think of the trap that snaps down onto a rat, that would hurt any animal curious enough to stick their limbs into it. Or the live catch cage rat traps, theyre usually large, capable of catching even squirrels. Even if it's small, there's plenty of animals the size of rats that would get in there.
God bless this lovely woman, what a wonderful thing to do. Most of us wouldn't have had a clue what to do so for her to think rationally and keep the bird calm without needing to wait for others to help was amazing to be a part of.
@@TheKeystoneChannel animals may not keep one another locked up,but you know nothing if you think they aren't capable of extreme cruelty,especially when it comes to certain birds and dolphins,and that's ignoring that we're animals too.
Stars in your crown, Officer Meneses! (I'm not totally sure what that means, but my grandma used to say it whenever someone did a good deed. I think the idea is that each good deed puts a star in your crown, and when we get to heaven, some people will have especially starry crowns. Like Officer Meneses!)
Glue traps are so damn barbaric and cruel. There are so many other humane options to get rid of unwanted animals. I'm glad the owl was saved! Good people still exist.
@@helentam-semmens821 EXACTLY. I have caught a lot of mice with mine and it’s also interesting to see the mice up close (tho that’s a bit mean to the mice since that scares them a lot)
I HATE glue traps. I've seen so many creatures suffer because of these horrid contraptions. I really think they should be outlawed. Thankyou so much for helping that Owl ❤️
While I agree with you I have to add that without glue traps I would have definitely been stung by more scorpions than I have been. I was house sitting and the place was infested. I’d wake up with scorpions crawling on my body. It was a nightmare until I got glue traps. But those were all inside, so not really the same as this situation.
Properly placed, tended, and with exclusion devices, "basically screens to prevent larger animals from coming in contact, glue traps are good, non toxic traps for insects, arachnids, etc. They have some good uses, but the ones made specifically for mammals, those ALL suck, and should be outlawed.
We had to use glue traps inside our home because none of the typical snapping mouse traps worked. But by observing where the mice would go between the day and night, we could place a mouse trap in their path, and we caught plenty of them and released them just fine. Never seen one outside before, don't know what they were trying to catch with that. But it's not the trap, it's the person.
@@Moth_Please I've never seen a glue trap that was easily releasable, I have seen mice that have actually ripped their own skin trying to get out of them, I've seen them dying from exhaustion, dehydration and just stress from being stuck in glue, but never a successful release. The owl in this video was lucky, only its feet and a few feathers were stuck, if it had been more, it would most definitely ended differently. Glue traps, all of them, are specifically designed as non toxic KILL traps, and I think they are cruel.
OMG, GOD BLESS U, Thank u for rescuing this Beautiful Owl 🦉 He's Absolutely Gorgeous, So GREATFUL to u for cleaning him up n setting him free , GOD BLESS ALL GOD'S BEAUTIFUL CREATURES, Sending Huggs n Prayers to ALL 🙏 🤗 ❤️, Especially the Fur children
I'm not sure what the right choice was to clean the wings, but vegetable oil I guess was safe. So it was a good call. Kept some weatherproofing from the owl oils. So good call. And good job!
I honestly feel like Glue traps should be banned. That's gotta be one of cruelest ways possible to kill something, plus it's very easy for pets and other wildlife to become victims. I'm just glad this lady was around with the kindness and patience to help this one out 💛
Seriously, the only reason I have heard to keep them is they are easier than other traps. "Easier for me, screw the innocent wildlife". Like, simplicity while doing much more harm is not okay.
If anything gets stuck to a glueboard use cooking oil to help deactivate the glue. I was in pest control and always had a bottle of Crisco in my truck to free birds, frogs, ect.
Officer Menese, thank you so much for helping the barn owl. You did an amazing job cleaning him and I'm sure he did know you were there to help him. Thank you again. ❤️🦉
these glue traps are barbarically cruel and should be banned ‼️ I regard anyone using them a psychopath.. end of story! also, I’ve rescued animals for 4 decades & run a shelter
If you need to remove mice or rats, please don’t use glue traps. Buy humane traps, fill them with Adams Peanut butter, and check frequently through the day. Once you catch the mice, relocate them to a safe place. This method doesn’t kill animals, and doesn’t harm others like this poor owl.
Bless her! I had the distinct privilege of saving a huge owl near Tallahassee Florida. He had fishing line wrapped tight around his wing and he was hanging from a tree limb. Stretched out, he was able to barely stand on a lower branch. I got a ladder and towel and cut him free. You never forget watching them fly off. It's a true honor to help such a wonderful animal.
I hate glue traps, and will never use them. If you have unwanted vermin, use a trap that will kill instantly, not torture the poor creature for hours. Or, better yet, use a safe trap and let the critter go.
There's no harm or cost to be kind... all animals, pests or otherwise, deserve to live, as every creature has a place on this planet. Glue traps are simply inhumane.
Owl's are one of my favourite creatures in the whole world. What a beautiful bird and you were so cool under pressure. God bless you for helping him and when I saw you release him my heart soared to see him fly away. Love and blessings from Scotland.x
This is a great example of someone who makes a positive difference in the world while providing meaningful purpose to one's life. If you are down in the dumps just get out and lend a hand and pick someone up to pick yourself up.
God bless you for saving that poor beautiful owl. A lot of people would have just walked away and wouldn't have cared if was safe or not. Keep up the good work.
Officer Meneses provided this owl with the most gentle and meticulous care. Such a great example for ALL of us in our relationships with pets and people alike.

What an amazing job she did! And she did it the best way possible too. Kudos! He's such a beautiful bird, so regal. 🦉
Beautiful owl. Beautiful woman.
That was how it should be. Thank you, Officer Meneses!
I'm proud of officer menese!
Thank You for being a HUMANE Being and saving that Beautiful BLESSINGS's life.
Hello Sharon
Bless your heart. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤
Folks like you make a huge difference, thank you very much
That was so great of you. Funny how once he knew you were helping he was so patient. Thanks for all you do
Thank you for your kindness, officer. May God bless you 😇😇😇
A true hero! Thank you, you are amazing!!!❤️
What a majestic animal! That must have been so thrilling for her to be up close and personal with him and to save his life!
Yeah
I'm not sure what the right choice was to clean the wings, but vegetable oil I guess was safe. So it was a good call. Kept some weatherproofing from the owl oils.
So good call. And good job!
Vegetable oil cleans so many different types of messes, stains, etc. and is harmless needless to say! 😊👍🏼
Many Thanks in saving that beautiful Owl. God Bless
I'm so glad there are wonderful people like Officer Meneses in the world!
God bless you for doing this. Thank you.
She’s such an Angel. Bless her soul for doing such a good deed, taking all her time to make sure he was perfectly okay. 💗
Only a compassionate lady can do that, I'm so freaking proud of her. BRAVO !👌👏👏👏
To be able to have an experience like this with a wild animal is amazing. I'm extremely jealous!
That's a experience that is rare. You'll never forget that!!! Thanks for helping God's creation!!!
May God Bless you
How cool I had no idea such beautiful, exotic owls are so close to where I’m from. My sister lived in that area for several years.
Very beautiful story Thank you for showing people that cares about animal in distress!
I hate clue traps. This was an awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
And God has blessed the planet with hearts as kind as yours...❣️🙏😇
God bless all of you guys and thanks for the help & good job 👏🏻
Indeed best people of the world always do the best May God bless you and All
I honestly feel like Glue traps should be banned. That's gotta be one of cruelest ways possible to kill something, plus it's very easy for pets and other wildlife to become victims. I'm just glad this lady was around with the kindness and patience to help this one out 💛
I agree
Totally agreed! Like you cant prevent other animals from getting on it, and they will hurt themself bad if they try taking it off, its so sad!
And barbed wire!
And plastic
Seriously, the only reason I have heard to keep them is they are easier than other traps. "Easier for me, screw the innocent wildlife". Like, simplicity while doing much more harm is not okay.
If anything gets stuck to a glueboard use cooking oil to help deactivate the glue. I was in pest control and always had a bottle of Crisco in my truck to free birds, frogs, ect.
He was just pissed because despite being one who knows 10,000 things, Wan Shi Tong managed to fall victim to a simple glue trap.
The angels among us make me feel so good.
I need a woman like here to do the same for me. Imagine a world where more strangers care.... Maybe not..... God bless her!
God bless this officer. What a beautiful bird.
Owl❤️❤️❤️
Officer Menese, thank you so much for helping the barn owl. You did an amazing job cleaning him and I'm sure he did know you were there to help him. Thank you again. ❤️🦉
these glue traps are barbarically cruel and should be banned ‼️ I regard anyone using them a psychopath.. end of story! also, I’ve rescued animals for 4 decades & run a shelter
True!
Thank you for rescuing animals! ❤️
You are an angel. I believe they know when we are trying to help them. You did a good thing. Thank you. 🥺🥰❤️
If you need to remove mice or rats, please don’t use glue traps. Buy humane traps, fill them with Adams Peanut butter, and check frequently through the day. Once you catch the mice, relocate them to a safe place. This method doesn’t kill animals, and doesn’t harm others like this poor owl.
I think glue traps should be outlawed
Bless her! I had the distinct privilege of saving a huge owl near Tallahassee Florida. He had fishing line wrapped tight around his wing and he was hanging from a tree limb. Stretched out, he was able to barely stand on a lower branch. I got a ladder and towel and cut him free. You never forget watching them fly off. It's a true honor to help such a wonderful animal.
I hate glue traps, and will never use them. If you have unwanted vermin, use a trap that will kill instantly, not torture the poor creature for hours. Or, better yet, use a safe trap and let the critter go.
There's no harm or cost to be kind... all animals, pests or otherwise, deserve to live, as every creature has a place on this planet. Glue traps are simply inhumane.
💯 agree!
God bless people like you!
Use of glue traps is the #1 indicator of someone being a horrible, shitty person. If you are using glue traps, stop immediately.
Thank you! I agree completely.
Thank you! I agree completely.
It's people like you that make the world a better place. God bless.
The concept of a glue trap is pure torture. Humans aren't worth it.
And tell me what else will be safe for other animals mice traps that kill? Nope it will break the leg of the owl or even rip it off now tell me
Owl's are one of my favourite creatures in the whole world. What a beautiful bird and you were so cool under pressure. God bless you for helping him and when I saw you release him my heart soared to see him fly away. Love and blessings from Scotland.x
Wow
Glue traps need to be banned
Thank you Officer Meneses!
I hadn't thought of vegetable oil. Dawn dish soap is a common cleaner for very sticky things such as an oil spill.
Thank you very much Officer Meneses. Your courage and kindness floors me.
Bless you.
That was amazing! Thank you, Officer Meneses, you are a true gem! Owls are such magnificent creatures. I am so glad you were there to save this one!
Officer Meneses is a wonderful person, not only does she serve and protect the people, she helps wildlife also. That owl is so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
You are such a wonderful caring person. You are a true hero 💕💕
God bless you for saving this owl keep saving all animals
God bless you for your kindness 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for helping him God bless you!!
God bless and keep you for saving this magnificent creature
You saved his life. Thank you for caring and helping.
This is a great example of someone who makes a positive difference in the world while providing meaningful purpose to one's life. If you are down in the dumps just get out and lend a hand and pick someone up to pick yourself up.
Great Job!! A clean up like that took hours.
Bless you officer. Job well done. Your empathy was above and beyond. Thank you
God bless you for saving that poor beautiful owl. A lot of people would have just walked away and wouldn't have cared if was safe or not. Keep up the good work.
God Bless you for taking care of this beautiful bird! So Good.
First he tried to attack you then he sat clam on your hand... Wow what an relief he got, thanks to you.❤👍👌grt job
