Man rescues hawk tangled in fishing line
byu/beemer-dreamer ininterestingasfuck
This guy was frightened, but he stepped up to do what he had to do, to free a juvenile osprey from certain death when he was wrapped up in discarded filament. You can see his hands shake as he reaches into those claws to cut the line. The osprey is too exhausted to fight, and over time comes to understand he is being helped. A wildlife expert in the comments says he did good, but urges anyone else in this situation to put on gloves first.

I don't think people realise how destructive abandoned fishing line is. I've seen lake shores when the water line was low and it is a maze of tangled lines. Death traps for anything that wanders into it.
