Hoo are you looking at? Trooper Landers was in Eagle recently when he learned of an owl with an injured wing. He was able to bring the owl to Tok, and the next day, Bird Treatment & Learning Center took the owl back to Anchorage for care.
I never heard of Eagle or Tok, so I looked it up, and it seems like one heck of a drive!
I knew Alaska was the biggest state and all, but it’s hard to grasp what that means. I do know how far I can get in 4.5 hours though. Alaska is indeed a big place!
Anchorage is another 5.5 hours, so people hauled this little one 9 hours to get patched up. The comment section was a real mix of opinions on troopers, but this was something nice they didn’t have to do. I’m glad this trooper understands the superb-ness of these amazing birds!
I’m with ya.
A cop who saves an owl has done a good thing. We don’t need to solve entire societies today.
And ten hours of driving just for this little bird is pretty awesome.
Exactly. I’m not against the thought of the US and a lot of places needing major police reform, but this guy did a massive good deed for the cause this community champions.
And if someone can do one good deed, they can do more, and we should support that. I know I’ve done a lot I’m not proud of, but I try to do better now.
