Hundreds of pet owls abandoned after Harry Potter craze fades

[congresstart]

And it’s feared many more have been illegally released into the wild and will have starved to death

Oh this is sad :( poor owls. Apparently we had a ton of snowy owls this winter in southwestern Ontario but I never saw one.

What, seriously? I never saw one either!

[unique_lilpixie]

I will never understand how some people can abandon animals, especially ones they've kept as pets.

Right? Like was no connection formed there?

I don't understand why they don't try to find another home for their pet or at least put them in a shelter.

Some people drive out of town just to abandon their pets in the middle of nowhere. It's especially bad here in the desert when people do it their dogs in the middle of summer, although most of the time it happens a little after Christmas when puppies have grown up.

ommmmmmmg people are fucking heartless. I remember my BFF growing up's mom did that to their cat bc she was sick of it peeing on things or something. Really? They had that cat for YEARS. Imagine belonging to a family, feeling at home, feeling loved by them and then one day they take you for a drive and just... leave you... all alone... to die basically. This makes me want to cry tbh. I'd never forgive my parents if they did that to me.
