I found this news stupid when I read them...I mean, when a player punches another in a football pitch you don't initiate a legal proceeding, and they want to do one for kicking an owl?...I think it's a bit retarded

Punching a grown man during an organized sport is acceptable considering its a sport and sometimes tensions rise. Its  almost expected in a physical sport, which is why all professional sports only fine the individual.

However, kicking a defenseless animal that is in no way harming anyone else is the same as if a toddler had wandered onto the field and that player kicked him off. In both cases you have a victim that cannot defend itself nor is it an active member in the sport.

That player should be fined heavily by the association and penalized for animal cruelity.

Yeah...kicking an animal is the same as kicking a human....
