Injured Toucan fights animal cruelty

[Catherine]

We may have posted about Grecia the Toucan when the injury first occurred. It was deliberately done. Much of the upper beak was broken away. No Toucan could survive like that. However a lot of ingenuity and a 3d printer were able to create a new beak. It works and Grecia lives well at a bird sanctuary where she draws attention to the issue of animal cruelty.

Her example is helping the movement for better anti-cruelty laws. She has not only survived a horrible ordeal and recovered. Her image will serve to save many other animals from abuse.  There is no way you can look at her and say animal abuse doesn't matter or that it is not serious.
