You are right, I mentioned a one-legged horned owl that was seen for months, probably feeding on smaller prey items, but still alive. At least they gave the owl a chance.
-
No they didn't. The trap had already done the damage before they got there. I've heard of a horned owl seen repeatedly for month...missing an entire foot...probably lost to a trap. At least these people tried to do something. They should be congratulated, not admonished.

once the muscle tissue and bones are broken there is not much hope, honestly. this was the best thing to do, other than the not having a seditive part
-
i live in the city and have places to get it fixed a vet or a wildlife park something besides that. better to have a broken arm in a cast than a fuckin nub. or adopt the fuckin thing. a horned owl hell ya

@RoyTheTechLord You mean the people who tried to save the owl?
-
Damn didnt realize they freakin cut it off :( hunting for that owl we be a bit difficult but you guys are great.
-
The foot was hanging by a bit of flesh, no rehab in the world would have healed it. The best thing for them to do was cut the bit of flesh holding it there and put some alcohol on it before setting it free.

Thumbs up if you agree!

That bird obviously died. You should have taken it to a rehabilitation center instead of cutting off the injured talon. Raptors need both feet to feed, and perch. In essence you did just as much harm as the trap.

Actually, the foot was hanging on by just the skin (you can see the bone clearly in the shot just before amputation) and would have rotted away, probably killing the owl, without their intervention. A vet would have done the same. And most birds, even raptors, can survive and hunt with just one leg. Especially Great Horned Owls, which have a wide range of prey to choose from.
