[(Title)]Barking owl put down after getting caught in barbed wire fence

Wildlife rescuers say the fate of an owl which had to be put down after being trapped on a fence is an example of the dangers that barbed wire can pose to Australian wildlife.

野生动物救援人员说，被围困在篱笆上的猫头鹰的命运昭示着铁丝网对澳大利亚野生动物造成的威胁。

Wildcare Inc NT posted a photo of the barking owl tangled in the fence on Facebook, prompting comments about the bird's highly disgruntled expression.

野生动物关怀基金会在Facebook上发布了一张缠在篱笆上的吠叫猫头鹰的照片，引发了网友关于这只鸟非常不满的表情的热议。

However it was later revealed that the bird had to be euthanased because of its injuries.

然而后来发现该鸟因受伤而不得不被安乐死。志愿救援人员发现，鸟翼的顶部被铁丝网抓住了。救援人员迈克贾维斯将受伤的鸟送到了兽医那里，护士决定将这只鸟安乐死。

The rescue prompted the animal welfare organisation to issue a plea to the public to consider the impact of barbed wire on local wildlife. More than 75 different species of wildlife regularly become victim to barbed wire fences, rescuers say, with nocturnal animals like owls disproportionately affected.

救援行动促使动物福利组织呼吁公众考虑铁丝网对当地野生动物的影响。救援人员说，超过75种不同的野生生物经常成为有刺铁丝网的受害者，夜间活动的动物如猫头鹰受到的影响特别严重。

Mr Jarvis said wrapping white horse tape around a barbed wire fence was an effective way to increasing the visibility of the fence.

在铁丝网围栏周围缠绕白马胶带是提高围栏能见度的有效方法。野生动物保护协会还呼吁当地居民不要以投毒的方式防鼠，因为可能会吸引猫头鹰误食。
