That's why a recent post from a Texas Animal Shelter really caught my attention. Unfortunately, that leftover fishing line can become a serious danger to wildlife. Hawk Rescued From Fishing LineIn this case, a hawk flew into a tree and became entangled in discarded fishing line. According to the officer, the bird was wrapped in nearly 18 feet of fishing line. After the rescue, the officer recorded a short public service announcement to help raise awareness about the dangers abandoned fishing line can pose to birds and other wildlife.
