Soccer Player Faces Action After Kicking Owl

 

Panama defender Luis Moreno is facing sanctions after he kicked an injured owl that had landed on the field during a match for his Colombian club Deportivo Pereira against Atletico Junior.

The owl, which serves as a mascot for the Atletico Junior team and lives in the stadium, was being treated Monday at a local veterinary clinic in Barranquilla.

The bird had been expected to recover from a minor fracture to its right leg, but Radio Santa Fe reports that the owl has now died.

Pereira club president Francisco Javier Lopez said the player would be punished and he could also face sanctions from Colombian football’s governing body. Not too mention the RSPCA, and PETA no doubt, who actually have something genuine to whine about now.

Here is a great surfing video taken from a Quadrocopter over Broken Head, Byron Bay, Australia.

Broken Head is the right hand point break at the southern end of Tallow Beach. It is a world class, sand bottom, long right hand wave. The swell was up, but the rides were not particularly long.
