While most people have praised the HP film franchise, HP film haters now have a new reason to rant. The reason being Harry Potter's owl, Hedwig. Her appearances in the films and books have made young children beg their parents for an owl like Harry's.
And some did. Only months ago, the United States government has placed heavier restrictions on the importations of exiotic animals, like owls. Suddenly, people have to surrender their owls and try to release them in a natural environment.
The result, too many owls on their own. In an interview with UK newspaper site,
"The Telegraph", animal expert Don Walser, who has just opened a owl sanctuary in Newport, CT, stated: "The problem is that no licence is required, anyone can buy an owl." But not everyone is best suited for raising one.
