A video showing Dubai Police officers rescuing a falcon that got entangled in a tree is going viral. The police posted the video as a Story on their official Instagram channel on Sunday.
The video from Hatta shows the falcon struggling to free itself from a branch on the tree. The police park a patrol under the tree, after which an officer climbs it to rescue the bird. The officer is seen wearing a glove as he saves the falcon.
Police officers, government department employees and residents in the country often go beyond the call of duty to help out residents and — in many cases — animals in distress.
Last year, a Dubai Police officer went viral after a TikTok video showed him rescuing a dehydrated bird. In the video, the officer is seen approaching the bird — who was struggling in the summer heat — and gently covering it with a plain white sheet.
Such noble gestures usually receive praise from the highest quarters.
Last year, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, offered a cash prize of Dh50,000 each to four Dubai residents, who went viral after saving the life of a pregnant cat as she fell from a second-floor balcony.
"Proud and happy to see such acts of kindness in our beautiful city," he had said, when sharing the video on Twitter.
In 2020, Sheikh Mohammed thanked a resident for notifying the Dubai Municipality about a helpless and injured bird stuck on a beach. Authorities were quick to rescue the creature and Sheikh Mohammed commended all involved.
"There is no value for any civilisation without values .. the values that give a meaning to humanity,” he said at the time.
