On vacation two years ago in New Hampshire, we saw two animals in need of help within a week of each other. The first was a sea gull who had gotten tangled in fishing line. We called Animal Control and they captured the bird and took it in. They called a few months later to inform us that her injuries were gone and she'd been set free. She had been malnourished since the line had been wrapped around her beak, and her wing and foot were broken. They fixed her right up! The second animal was a seal pup. It was laying on the beach, and was obviously very sick. Animal Control came again but it was too late for the poor little guy. I was impressed at Animal Control's speed getting to the scene, and by their compassion to the animals. Who knows, maybe they did try to help that pigeon? I didn't think they'd care about one little sea gull but they did.
