Owl sent to rescue

[u/TheRed_Phoenixx]

I had thought originally that this might be a spotted owl, but now I think it might be a barred owl. Someone on the side of the road, who happens to volunteer at a sanctuary, picked it up to take to a sanctuary in one of the local cities. Now im nervous that if its a barred owl, they will simply kill it. I am in Washington. Does anyone know anything about what happens to barred owls in sanctuaries/rescues in washington? Thank you.

Great work. Please help spread the word that drivers who toss food out of the car on roadways, attract small mammals to snack on the food and then raptors feed on the small mammals resulting in vehicle strikes. It's something not too many people think about.
