Title: Barn owl at Leslie Science and Nature Center finds new owners who give a hoot Post by: Donna on 25-Sep-10, 07:16:03 AM How sad is this?? :crying:
Stolen away from her family as a hatchling to be a personal pet, the barn owl didn’t appear to have a promising future. The owl was in the possession of a family in Ohio that had apparently illegally stolen the bird from its family, leaving her with no natural instincts. Francie Krawcke, the raptor program director at the Leslie Nature and Science Center in Ann Arbor, said feathers on the owl’s right wing were cut off, and she suspects the owl had been abused. “The daughter of the home she was at told the folks from the raptor center that her and her boyfriend liked to hear the bird scream, so they made it scream,” Krawcke said. “It paints a pretty horrible picture.” I say, jail them all. Every day in the news is something horrible that people, (if you can call them that), do to harm animals. Thankfully, the Police intervened. http://www.annarbor.com/news/barn-owl-at-leslie-science-and-nature-center-finds-new-owners-who-give-a-hoot/ (http://www.annarbor.com/news/barn-owl-at-leslie-science-and-nature-center-finds-new-owners-who-give-a-hoot/) story and pics Title: Re: Barn owl at Leslie Science and Nature Center finds new owners who give a hoot Post by: Bird Crazy on 25-Sep-10, 09:28:55 AM sick (unprintable words) You have to wonder what is becoming of people.
