He did not "violently punt" the owl, though what he did was still very bad. I'd describe it more as a firm kick but it wasn't exactly violent. edit: His idiotic excuse is almost worst than the act itself. He should've manned up and said he didn't think about what he was doing and was too stupid to see the owl as a living thing. | ||

Aware that he's treading on thin ice, Moreno is apologizing to anyone that will listen to him and now claims he was actually trying to help the owl. "It wasn't my intention to hit the animal. What I tried to do was wake it up so it could fly," Moreno said, according to Reuters. really now... >.> | ||

edit here is what happened earlier To me, it looked more like he wanted to kick it off the pitch, and where that owl was hit, that's a pretty far flight. It's not just the kick, but the landing most likely injured the owl too. | ||

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 | ||

I saw it more as a scoop than a kick. Don't really think Moreno was trying to do anything ill-natured. | ||

Yes he shouldnt have kicked it but its not like he wound up and actually hit it hard it was a slight kick. No one complained when Rand Johnson blew up a bird, this really isnt a big deal and nothing should happen because of it The pitching accident was just that... an accident. He didn't aim for the bird. Nobody should be mad that the owl accidentally got hit by the ball. But going up to the owl and intentionally kicking it is different. It should not be ignored. | ||

No wait, you're being stupid. Randy Johnson hitting the bird was a total accident. This was clearly not. edit: Micronesia damn you for stating the obvious before me. | ||

It's mostly the animal extremist that suggest these laws and nobody cares enough to argue that these rules are bad so we get these insane jail time for it... Edit: I mean sure, it wasn't a nice thing to do, but how different is it from killing a caterpillar? | ||

People who are that boldly a douchebag deserve to be put in jail for 3 months whether they kicked a fucking owl or not. | ||

I find it sort of hard to believe that anybody would intentionally do what is being suggested, and the motion of his leg is really the kind of motion you make when you're trying to make light contact but put a lot of momentum into the target after contact. But it was still irresponsible. he said that because he's team was losing he was "hot tempered" or something. http://depor.pe/noticia/720900/no-resistio-murio-lechuza-que-fue-pateada-luis-moreno heres a video clip of the own in the clinic etc. Received treatment but died of shock. | ||

As humans it's our intellectual capacity that sets us apart. But they they feel the same pain and emotion as us. For all intents and purposes it is the same thing as a 6'4 275lb football player physically injuring you to the brink of death because you accidentally got in the way of a game somehow. In this context you are no different from any animal because they feel every bit of pain that you would. | ||
