Seriously? An Owl and a Grille?
Right, because we dont have enough pressing issues in California. Wildfires ravaging landscapes, crippling drought, exorbitant housing costs…but no, let’s focus on an owl stuck in a car grille. Apparently, thats the pinnacle of importance now. Firefighters! Animal control officers! A full-blown rescue operation! You know, instead of tackling actual emergencies?
I mean, it’s adorable, I guess. A majestic great horned owl, battling for its life against…a Toyota Corolla? Truly a Shakespearean tragedy unfolds before our very eyes. We must mobilize resources! Deploy the heavy machinery! Lets document this momentous occasion with countless photos and videos destined to clog up social media feeds.
Honestly, can we just acknowledge the sheer absurdity of it all? Did someone actively try to wedge an owl into a car grille? Was it a targeted attack? Or is this simply the level of distracted driving we’ve reached? People are so engrossed in their phones, apparently theyre now capable of avian vehicular entrapment.
And dont even get me started on the heartwarming press releases. A successful rescue! They crow. Yes, because saving a bird from a grille is exactly what our tax dollars should be funding. I’m sure the owl appreciates the fanfare. It’s probably thrilled to be the star of a local news segment. Meanwhile, the rest of us just sigh and wonder where all this time—and money—is going.
