TACK3727 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Posted August 16, 2009 i have never heared of the eagle owl taken anyones small dog, and if the owl is active at night, the dog in turn would be a stray , and i doubt you have witnesses this and is only here say. as there aint no living witness with proof, to show that this is the case No matey not hearsay, like I said personal experience and yes I am living and I am a witness otherwise why would I say it. 20 years involved in Falconry along with dealing and collecting escaped Birds Of Prey. The European Eagle Owl is more likely to be active during daylight hours. The latest personal sighting I have is of a European Eagle Owl living locally, often seen flying up and down the riverside, photographed and reported in the local newspaper by a local resident. This bird has been surviving for the last 4 weeks, living on wild ducks and rabbits. Just for the record I only relay fact and not hearsay.
jimmy white Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 If it is a wild bird, then it has the same protection as all other European birds under the 1981 Act .. what's good for the goose etc., RSPB / RSPCA can't have it both ways. If it is someone's bird that has got out, then it is someone's personal property; either way, it cannot be interfered with, or destroyed, by a vet or anyone else. this is fact,,,, but have the feeling after some e,mails to the rspb,, that they do not believe this,,,,,or dont want to ,,, my thoughts are,, they dont want too >
