What a dreadful way to end a life. His family will never get over it. I’d be destroyed if one of my sons did that. He must have had some serious mental health issues, poor soul.

Aw poor creature, they are such beautiful birds with those big eyes. I passed a dead tawny owl this morning that had got hit at the roadside. I always feel a little bit sad to see dead wildlife yet never batted an eyelid when I was young.
