EPTBut I don't have this sense of vengeance or the need to incarcerate the man. I think 3-month jail is over the top and not productive. Community service for 3 months sounds better to me including animal shelter help and such.

I guess I am not the end all be all on moral judgment, but I do heart animals. I'd probably ban him from soccer. Jail time seems fine to me to. There is no reason to be so cruel. Well maybe not the soccer ban, after he serves his jail time he can do whatever he wants. There is no reason to ban him from a career path, jail time should be enough. | ||

If he kicked the helpless owl like that, what makes you think he won't do something twisted to animals in a shelter? I'd rather keep him locked in a jail, safely away from anything animal. | ||

I am amazed at some of the stupid comments in this thread. People that play soccer already stated this was a flip, yet someone like you comes in raging without actually knowing anything. If I wanted to kill a bird I would kick it and you would see feathers flying everywhere. | ||

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. I have no problem with keeping things in perspective. Saying tone it down is fine, but saying people's concern is childish and naive is not. Believing that he should have been more careful with an injured animal than to kick it to the side is not some outlandish point of view, in fact it is likely the most rational one. | ||

Tbh I am really worried about being raped by a soccer player so I can relate to your concerns here. | ||

Saying something to the effect of "sorry, I got frustrated and used poor judgment" would have been better. Sending him to jail seems extreme... a fine would be more appropriate imo. Meh i think he deserves it... i hate people who mistreat animals just not right he should get expelled from the soccer leauge thats just my opinion though xD | ||

edit: I just watched the video again and clearly you can see that he pushed the owl with his foot. By the way what the fuck was that owl doing there anyway? Why didn't anyone move it? -_- | ||

When a person is killed, there is usually a reason for it. he startled a burglar, or attempted to stop a robbery, or the criminal just wanted to take something from him and killed him to do it. Its rare that a human kills another human for no real reason, and when it does happen (serial killers, psychopaths) we get just as upset. Human brains don't cope well with things we don't understand, and cruelty to helpless animals is one of those things that is just not possible to understand the reasoning behind. Recently in Australia (I say recently but it was more likely a couple of years) a group of youths captured and burned alive a young kitten. The cat survived, and in a rare case of justice being done appropriately, all of the youths received hefty detention sentences and their parents were billed for the (high) medical costs associated with saving the cat. | ||

Yes there are sportsmen that do horrific things, but there are people from every occupation that do it also. The reason that it appears to be more sportsmen is because they are in the spotlight and reading or hearing news about them is interesting. This would not be a story if some random mechanic kicked an owl and kicked it in his yard. That being said the act was stupid and the soccer player would obviously be sincerely regretting his actions by now. 3 Months prison is too much, but a severe fine or suspension would be justified. | ||
