Why Owls Don't Make Good Pets
We are all fascinated by owls. Perhaps it is their huge forward facing eyes and 'cute and cuddly' appearance, the things that in fact make them fierce hunters, or perhaps it is down to the multiple stories portraying owls as pets (I’m looking at you J.K Rowling). Unfortunately for these magnificent animals, this fascination has lead to an increase in people purchasing owls as pets. In many countries, including the UK, it is disturbingly easy to obtain an owl, there is no necessary licensing, paperwork, or knowledge check that needs to be achieved before an owl can be purchased.
