Well this
is the reality of what fishing line can do!
This poor pelican
has lost his life due to careless fishing practices - the foot has been taken
over by gangrene and was attacking his muscles further up his leg also creating
blood poisoning. Euthanasia the only answer!
Please if
you do get tangled up with a bird - tell someone - anyone! There is a
wide network of voluntary animal rescue groups out there so the word would very
quickly get to the appropriate group who could then respond and help the poor
thing. A little more caring from everyone would avoid this sort of thing. If he
hadn't been caught this bird would have died a slow horrific death.
