The incident took place on Tuesday night. Zoo workers found the body of the 32-year old man near the wild birds’ cage. An owl was missing from the nearest compertment. Most likely, the man got into the zoo at night intending to steal a bird. He climbed over the fense and broke the cage where an owl lived. “The place was covered with feathers, at first we thought that the owl flew away,” zoo workers told reporters. However, soon the bird was discovered hiding in the bushes. The owl was bruised and frightened, but alive. Prosecutors, who started investigation into the man’s death, said it was obvious that the bird fought the thief fiercely. The cage and the zoo fence were covered in blood drops. Investigators say that the man tried to climb the fence wit the bird in his hands but fell and collapsed after his head hit a cage. The man died of hypothermia after lying several hours unconscious on the cold ground. The culprit, according to other sources: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted May 18, 2007 O RLY? That is one kick ass owl. Take that thieving bastard. Oh and I moved this to general chat, because it really doesn't qualify for CE. I still love it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted May 18, 2007 The local zoo has a Eurasian Eagle Owl. Biggest owl in the world. Thing's almost the size of my torso, and has a six foot wingspan. The fuckers eat deer in the wild. Its eyes are seriously that color, too. Bird would tear you a new anus if you tried stealing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Failed Bridge 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 If I get assigned to a K-9 unit I'm going to ask for one of those big owls instead. German Sheppards can't fly and the eyes on that will fuck with a man's convictions all by itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toshiaki Koala 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2007 I'm pretty sure an Eagle Owl has killed a gentleman as well (some bloke who was trying to band its young), as has its smaller but equally terrifying American cousin the Great Horned Owl. They're still not a patch on this guy. It could fucking swallow dogs fucking whole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
