Excavator Operator Saves Baby Calf Stuck In Canal - Inspirational Videos

One construction worker used his massive piece of machinery for humanitarian purposes when he saved an animal, which had become ensnared by a fast-moving current.

Animals are creatures designed by the same God who hung the sun, moon and stars in place. The Lord, as mentioned in the book of Genesis, even placed animals on the Earth before man. Since they were formed by and are members of God’s creation, animals deserve a certain amount of respect and dignity. 

A short clip posted on social media shows how far one person went to save the life of a calf. The 35-second video is of filthy, mud-colored water moving at a brisk pace down a canal in Igdir, Turkey. A few seconds into the video and a large object, off into the distance, can be spotted floating along with the water. 

As the water brings the unidentified item closer and closer to the camera, it appears to be some kind of animal lying on its side. Then, as the creature in the water gets to the center of the frame, an excavator appears inches away from the beast in the water. 

The excavator and the calf disappear into the canal, down into the filthy water. The excavator quickly reemerges after having captured the calf. The big piece of machinery brings the animal to safety, placing it on solid ground where the beast regains its footing. 

The machine operator timed the submersion of the excavator perfectly to pull the animal from the rushing water. 

The successful calf rescue captured on camera was only one of two, according to Sunny Skyz. The outlet reports that initially, two calves had fallen into the flooded canal. However, philanthropic citizens, using only ropes, corralled and pulled the animal out of the canal to safety. 

The other calf, the one captured on video, proceeded to move down the waterway for approximately two miles before the excavator operator stepped in and rescued the bovine.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of the evildoers are cruel.”
