After a poor owl was found in terrible condition, a wildlife center helped him make an incredible recovery. The Raven Ridge Animal Centre, in Pennsylvania, announced last month that it had taken in a Great Horned Owl who had been rescued from a manure pit.
After a poor owl was found in terrible condition, a wildlife center helped him make an incredible recovery. The Raven Ridge Animal Centre, in Pennsylvania, announced last month that it had taken in a Great Horned Owl who had been rescued from a manure pit. 
“I knew it was gonna be a long night,” wildlife rehabilitator Tracie Young told The Dodo, adding that despite the trauma the owl was “subdued”: “He was tired from struggling.”The owl had also suffered severe eye trauma — his right eye was deep red and filled with blood. The rescuers later found a steel BB in his eye, revealing that the bird had been illegally sH๏τ with a BB gun.
Over time the rescuers were able to examine the extent of damage to the eye, and discovered a miracle: despite the trauma, the owl did not sustain any permanent eye damage or loss of vision.
We’re so glad to see this beautiful owl is doing better and is on the road to recovery! Thank you to everyone who rescued him!
