Recently, while actor Randeep Hooda was heading to the Mahalaxmi racecourse to tame his horses (he owns seven of them), he saw few of taxi drivers on the road holding a wounded baby eagle. He asked his driver to stop and ask them where they got it.

When the taxi driver told, it fell down from the electric wires above and they planned to sell it, as “the bird fetches good money”, Randeep asked them to give it to him so that he could get it treated.

But when they refused, he paid them a couple of thousand bucks and took charge of it. Randeep then called an examine he knew to the race course and the guy gave the baby eagle some basic treatment.

Since eagles come under endangered species, Randeep knew he could not keep it for long. So he asked the vet to take it, treat it, and hand it over to the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). The eagle had stopped bleeding by then and the actor’s timely action saved its life.
