I am sure there is a story behind both incidents. No harm was done, except that this puts traveling with animals in a negative light. 
In particular it gives service animals a bad name. This could make it harder for a responsible person with a service dog to travel by airplane.

Cats can be so funny, even if they are sitting there doing nothing. Cats sitting in boxes are always funny.
Cats with odd markings are fun. What would it be like to live with a cat that looks like it has a cheeseburger on its back or a cute little heart. 
We never get tired of cat memes. That is why cats still rule the internet.]]>

You just know those beavers are going to do amazing things to the area. They were there before and they belong there. returning them will do many
good things for the ecosystems. I can't wait to read articles about what the beavers have done.

In this case it was a deer. Birds and even insects get tangled. Do we really need a decoration that can injure local wildlife.
Is there a safer way we can decorate. Every year some animals end up in trouble. Is it really worth it. Do you want to take the risk of injuring an animal.
Please look for safer alternatives. The animals will thank you.]]> These are particularly dangerous for animals.

It looks like they have other fund raisers on the go. It is not easy to keep a shelter going these days. There are so many expenses and so many animals in need.

It looks like someone deliberately attracted the birds with food and put out glue covered sticks to trap them.
If they had not been found so soon, they probably would not have survived. They certainly suffered while they were trapped.
I hope they find the guilty parties and charge them with animal cruelty.
