 . That guy shouldn't be allowed to play pro football again in his life. That's just pathetic kicking the poor animal after it was hit by a ball. | ||

It's so much smaller than us, it's bones are hollow so "flicking" like that may actually break some bones. In fact, the player probably didn't realize how frail a bird was, especially one so big. But remember than a soccerball hit the owl head on. That has to may have done more damage than the kick. | ||

But to be honest, the video is polarizing because you can see the owl still moving shortly before he kicked it. Poor owl | ||

I guess what I'm saying is that if anyone is really suggesting much of a penalty at all for this, they are just being asinine. | ||

I bet if you had a baby intercept that kick he would tell you it was brutal if he could. | ||

It's a pretty large animal, I could never do that. This person deserves a big punishment. Damn, so cruel. | ||

He payed the bail and was free less than a year later and he continued playing professional soccer with minimum outrage. It's ridiculous how this guy is getting so much shit on an international lever for lifting an old owl with his foot and having the owl die later, most likely due to the stress of captivity. Makes you wonder how much is human life worth, especially here. http://colombiareports.com/colombia-news/sports/4841-junior-midfielder-shoots-fan-police.html As it turns out, that man's family felt his life was worth $150 million. I'm not sure how murder is counted as a civil lawsuit, but apparently it was. Anyways, a human being murdered on a different occasion doesn't put this into some sort of minimized perspective. They're separate events and neither one is right, they both deserve(d) punishment. As to why this one's receiving so much more attention, it's probably due to the fact that a camera broadcasting live internationally caught this one. The other guy murdered someone and paid for silence, which was apparently a private matter. A dead bird's family can't represent him and I don't think the Colombian government is supposed to take bribes to dismiss a case. | ||

How does it not constitute brutality if it isn't a baby? It's still a living creature that can feel pain. The point is that it doesn't matter if the player thought that was a 'light' kick. From the perspective of the owl it probably felt pretty damn brutal. | ||

Or maybe you are saying that it's ok for somebody to punt a baby, as long as it isn't being violently punted. Good luck arguing that case in court, I'm sure the jury would empathize with your situation, you didn't mean to kill the baby when you lighter-than-violently punted it. In any case, there was zero reason to touch it and the douche bag kicked it hard enough to get it off the field after the game was stopped. Harming it in any way is too fucking brutal. Your ability to foresee the astounding stupidity in your post is fascinating. It was an owl, not a baby. Believe it or not there is a fundamental difference. I'm sure you kill ants all day long because they're pests but oh SHIT when it's something bigger than a bug animal rights activists go crazy. Or hell a garden snake, or raccoon, or skunk. People kill intelligent creatures all the time...and you can't always tell me that it's totally painless. While I agree the kid wasn't thinking right he didn't wind up and kick the shit out of the bird. It was a flick if anything. That Owl had already been smashed by that soccer ball as it was. Intent is actually rather important here and while I believe the kid is a total fucking moron for trying to "wake it up" by kicking it I don't think he should be sentenced to three months in jail. | ||

Reading the newspapers, whenever there is a article about a person being killed it hardly prompts any reaction, whereas 'Woman throws a cat in a garbage pin' results in countless death threats on that person. Makes me feel kinda sad for humanity. Having met a few people that actually belong to a sort of 'animal preservation group', I have to say, those are some obsessive and fairly worthless individuals. | ||
