Im pretty sure that guy couldn't defend himself from a gun, and im pretty sure a human being dieing is a pretty big deal to.For those saying who cares, Its a big deal because blowing off animal cruelty in such a public manner tells people its okay to treat animals like that. People defend animals more harshly than people because they cant defend themselves. They cant find lawyers and sue people. It's like when chris brown beat up rianna, it was a big deal cause they are famous and when you let people get away with no consequence it shows that the society will allow that behavior. Personally watching that poor owl get kicked was kind of painful. Soccer is his livelihood so a ban is kind of perhaps too far, but some jail time and a few game bans should show people its not something to do lightly. What a retard though If the animal had a lawyer and a family they could pay a bunch of money to it would be okay then? You are just being melodramatic and sensational to defend your point.

If someone kicked an owl like that and I was there I would have probably punched him in the face right after as my initial reaction. Who cares about getting suspended for punching him, you don't kick an animal like that. you should consider learning some self control. | ||

I've never had issues with owls, but humans tend fuck things up. | ||

Yea man, agreed. It's like running your brand new truck over some drunken bum (wtf who cares) vs killing an Ivy league honor student. Fucking bats expect they get the same treatment, jeez. | ||

Wait, so your reasoning for the protection of animals is that they're cute? Aren't you discriminating against a fellow mammal that has the right to live? You, sir, are one heartless fiend. Also, Bats aren't rodents, as they are a member of the order Chiroptera. | ||

Indeed it is, someone saying that the player violently punted the bird basically assuming he tried to kill it versus him trying to toss the bird off the field. It's like saying someone accidentally stepping on a baby in a crowded subway is the same as someone who killed a baby out of frustration or something. The stupidity is astounding, well put. | ||

But it's not that big a deal (relatively speaking) and just sensational mediamaking. Animal cruelty is pretty pervasive behind closed doors, but when you put it on live television in a familiar venue like a soccergame, then suddenly people get inflamed and want to get involved. Then these people will get angry for a day and forget about it the next. Give me a break. | ||

Was hardly a brutal kick, fuck, I'd bet the hit from the ball hurt it worse then his kick. It did look like he was trying to get it off the field. If he was that focused I could totally see him doing it without thinking just like that. When did TL turn into PETA? Jesus.. | ||

Sounds like intent to kill is the issue of contention, not the actual force. It doesn't matter if he kicked hard, it matters if he was kicking to hurt or kill the bird. | ||

From the OP According to Radio Caracol of Colombia, the exact cause of death was capture myopathy, which develops in animals that are subjected to extreme physical conditions, such as exertion, struggle and stress. It's just as likely that the owl was killed from being hit by the ball. It's quite possible that the owl was going to die regardless of what the player did, although no one is denying that it was stupid to do it in the first place. | ||

Who's to say that it was the kick that resulted in the death of the owl and not whatever resulted in it lying on the field looking half dead already? | ||

Yes, awful things happen all the time but wrong is still wrong. If you were to extend the logic of a lot of forum posters here we would have to wait for an event worse than the holocaust to actually be upset about something. Man shot and killed, oh well, but oh god an owl was kicked, stop the presses. its a completely relevant argument considering the astounding amount of stupid double standards put up in this thread. Post was made about the same exact league a player shot and killed someone and got away with it after dropping some bills, and it was completely ignored. Owl dies, we get posts like this, ridiculous.
