My Youtube Choice

I chose this Youtube video, because this woman, Catherine, saves lives of animals and this has also a connection with the book HOOT.
Catherine has been saving animals lives for more than 10 years. Even after her diagnosis of breast cancer she continues to save them. The animals gave her a reason to live, knowing that although in her career she had already saved nearly 4,000 animals there were plenty more to save out there, every day.

Would you try to save owls and risk getting caught vandalizing? Why or why not?

Of course I would try to save owl, but I don't know if it will succeed.
I will try it because owls are animals and I love animals very much.
And if it will succeed I have saved a lot of owls.
