    Default Plymouth Owl man told to stop showing his owls in town centre



    BBC News - Man forced to stop walking owls by busy Plymouth road

    Really sad that some do-gooder has reported him to the local council and they have requested that he stop the impromptu displays.

    It's a sad sad world.

    Of course, there's no danger at all from dogs who are being walked by the road.....

    Not worth mentioning!

    I grant you that it is far more likely that a non/ill educated dog causes an incident.

    Nonetheless, I for one would be more than happy if they would stop the man from "walking his owls" as I think it is a disgusting display and probably just backs up the mans ego when people gather around him on his walks.
    It is just so way apart from the natural behaviour of an owl as it can possibly be, and no one is going to convince me that the owl "enjoys" the walks.


    So what do you think Rolf? I guess I have said enough to qualified as the offical "do-gooder" of the site?

    I love him!
    Yeah, I guess a saint would suit me! Saint Katherina but with an ironical element.
