\n Face masks might be good for people, but they’re terrible for birds.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n They may be saving human lives, but when littered, masks could be deadly for animals.<\/p>\n

A seagull in the UK was rescued after spending around a week with its legs hopelessly entangled in a disposable mask, which rendered it unable to fly or walk.<\/p>\n

Wildlife rescue officials worry that many other critters could suffer a similar fate as personal protective equipment (PPE) becomes mandatory in many places.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it has been here a while the poor [bird\u2019s] limbs and joints are swollen,\u201d reads a tweet posted Sunday by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals charity (RSPCA).<\/p>\n

An accompanying photo depicts the poor gull with a face mask wrapped around its ankles like manacles.<\/p>\n

RSPCA inspector Adam Jones was alerted to the bird\u2019s predicament by staff at a car showroom, reports SWNS. He told the wire service that he became \u201cincreasingly concerned\u201d when the bird stayed in one spot for hours, and didn\u2019t appear to be moving.<\/p>\n

When the charity worker tried to approach the avian, it attempted to fly away. Unfortunately, by that time, the flustered flyer could only \u201cstumble and fall\u201d due the mask\u2019s elastic straps ensnaring its legs, Jones said.<\/p>\n

The seagull was eventually whisked to the RSPCA\u2019s South Essex Wildlife Hospital, where staffers relieved it of its accidental shackles. The plucky picnic pillager is currently recuperating in an aviary and is slated to be released along with several other gulls when they\u2019re ready, according to Jones.<\/p>\n

Despite saving the seagull, the rescuer is concerned that there \u201cwill be more and more [face masks] being irresponsibly discarded and wild animals and birds will become tangled in the elastic straps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carelessly discarded face masks don\u2019t just pose a threat to animals. Officials warned in April that the US\u2019 mounting PPE trash problem could help facilitate spread of the coronavirus among people.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
