On October 17, a special "guest" came to the Beiting Police Station of the Second Branch of the Public Security Bureau of the 12th Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the horned owl, a national second-level wild protected animal.
With the concerted efforts of the enthusiastic masses, the police station and the police station, a joint "rescue" operation began...
On the same day, Nie Pengfei, an employee of the 4th Company of the 222nd Regiment of the 12th Division, received a call from his brother, saying that he had found a black shadow curled up in his cornfield. After receiving the call, Nie Pengfei hurried to the ground to fix his eyes, and it turned out to be a bird resembling an "owl" staying on the ground.
"When you see it, it stays on the ground and doesn't fly or hide." Nie Pengfei recalled to reporters that out of awareness of wildlife protection and worried that the "owl" would be harmed because it could not fly, Nie Pengfei carefully picked it up and hurried to the nearest police station and the Beiting police station for help.
Looking at the birds lying motionless on the ground, the police also made a mistake for a while. After preliminary examination of the animal, this animal that looks very similar to the "owl" is a horned owl, and the bird's body length is more than 60 cm.
Subsequently, the auxiliary police of the Beiting Police Station properly placed the horned owl and bought meat to feed it to help it recover its strength. Watching the horned owl gradually recover under the care, the civilian auxiliary police were relieved.
After contacting the Forestry Branch of the 12th Division Public Security Bureau and the Department of Natural Resources of Fukang City, the police promptly sent him to the relevant departments for careful care, and then released them back into nature after they recovered their health.
It is understood that the horned owl belongs to the owl family, which is a owls with horn-like feathers on their heads, and belong to the national second-level wild protected animals. After preliminary examination, it was confirmed that the collared owl had no trauma, but its physical condition was not good, and it was initially judged that it had lost its ability to fly due to its weak constitution during the desert migration.
