Lancaster, PA — A FedEx driver is being noticed for answering the call to action after finding an injured owl while on his route.
The Raven Ridge Wildlife Center praised the driver, Justin, saying that he called the rescue after discovering the bird.
However, due to the center not having anyone available to assist, the postal carrier swooped into action and placed an empty envelope under the owl to track it down after his shift.
Sure enough, that’s when Raven Ridge said Justin came back to the bird and used his work jacket and some plastic wrap to transport it in a FedEx mail bin to Raven Ridge.
We cannot express our gratitude enough for Justin’s extraordinary commitment to rescuing and transporting this vulnerable creature to our care. This was a shining example of the ‘FedEx Purple Promise’ in action. Thankfully, Raven Ridge staff confirmed the animal is resting and receiving vital treatment for its dehydration and wounds.
“The next 72 hours are crucial for its recovery, and we remain hopeful for gradual improvement and a complete recovery, thanks to Justin’s selfless actions,” the nonprofit said.
“Every effort counts, and together, we can give this owl a second chance at life!”
I wish he either had a friend or someone he could have called to retrieve it, or if there was a local animal transport person that was available, but I’m glad someone at least got the little guy eventually.
I wonder if you can Uber/Lyft an animal… 🤔
A manger’s priorities and a worker’s are generally at odds with each other. Especially with a logistics company, their whole existence is getting things from A to B in the most efficient way.
I got to be the manager once, because I thought it was something I was supposed to aspire to, but I learned it’s not just being the lead worker, it’s pushing the big boss’s will onto the people getting stuff done. I didn’t last, and I don’t ever really want to do it again. It’s not who I am, at least not the way most places are run anymore.
