Respect… respect animals, that’s my standpoint, respect and acknowledge their strengths. I also never said that they are “murderous killers” but they are instinctive creatures. They have to survive the harsh wilderness unlike us humans that live in comfort. They are very well capable of killing if necessary and we shouldn’t underestimate them. Treat all but especially wild animals with respect and be careful around them, they are instinctive creatures and not pets and can be dangerous if not dealt with properly.

@@jazolobo he doesn’t have to, it’s a belief system, archetype and a social/psychological self help strategy. In this context it’s simply an earnest expression of how much admiration they have for the deeds of mortal man, and that’s all that’s really relevant to the comment thread. The placebo effect is real and shared delusions have created positive as well as negative effects on humanity, so why crap on their ideals just because you don’t believe? Personally I’m agnostic towards all belief, IDGAF about any of them as long as they DGAF about me. I’m atheist towards the institutional and powerful side of religious ‘corporate’ organisations as they are easily corrupted by the sins their own religion warns them about. God is just the manifestation of worshippers ideals, a clue to see the character they hope to aspire to. Rather than just opposing their whole system, perhaps it’s more beneficial to provide constructive criticism about the actual results of their actions? The problem I see with modern Christianity is that many groups seem to be confused about Jesus’s actual position on things like migrants, bankers, the wealthy and generally how we should treat each other. It’s the same as politics. The leaders are not representing the interests of the people, and division is creating profit for both groups. We are only humans, and if some need the aspirations of the celestial to be better people, why would you bother to stand in their way? I’m a cheerful nihilist, and I know not everyone’s comfortable with my world view, so I let them enjoy their own. Live and let live, different strokes for different blokes. The diversity of human opinion is so broad that there is always room for ignorance about others, and we respond emotionally more than with our reason.

Then after getting out, they keep their wings spread for long periods of time (depending on how wet their feathers are and how exhausted they are) to try and dry them out so they can fly again because they can't fly with wet feathers. I think this one hasn't been in the water long enough to be exhuasted and wet to a point of being unable to fly.

Yeah the hawk was probably exhausted from trying to fight his own way out, but the fact that it only struggled when the man’s hand tried to go behind its head (out of its vision) and kept an eye on what was going on made me feel like there was some understanding there.

That's an osprey.

This should be a reminder to all of us to take our rubbish home and dispose of it responsibly. Kudos to the guy who rescued such a magnificent bird from probably a horrible death other wise.

Not always negative. Sometimes you lose lines in water and cannot get them back even if you have scuba gear rite there. There's more plastic in the oceans from fishing than textile industries for crying out loud. Just think about that.

[@lyndareilly6893]

I wonder if he cleaned up the fishing line and disposed it?

[@andrexadoh]

@@danecowan3062 The greater message is that this is the damage any plastic line in water can do. Instead of trying to cover up for our sad human existence, we should be demanding that the fishing industry in general create reliable biodegradable line.

Sadly there are some evil specimens amongst us that just don't care for wild life 🇨🇭.

This hawk has a hero in this man who is so kind. He saved the hawk's life so it could fish another day.😇👏

its nice that the hawk was saved, but your comment looks like you dont care or realize that fishes are living beings, too.
