If there's one thing that makes my skin crawl it's pointless animal cruelty. I think it's low, as low it gets. It makes me outraged. It's the animals inability to control the situation in cases like this, where they are essentially defensless and have caused no harm to anyone. Wanting to inflict pain on an animal in this situation is just sadistic.
This player could have easily called for the handler to collect it, no harm done. The play had been stopped, and that would have been the logical thing to do. But no, he saw the owl and decided to kick it as hard as he could (which for a soccer player is bloody hard). The only reason I think he would have done it is for his own sadistic pleasure, and that makes me extremely angry!
Fucking murderer!

I can assure you that kick wasn't even a 10th of what it could have been. Had he hit it as hard as he could and you would have seen blood and feathers all around. I don't think his intentions were to kill the bird, I think he just did that to get the animal off the field, you can tell because he performed a low and ascending slow kick, which is the same a player does to pass the ball to the hands of a person.
Having cleared that, I think the guy is a fucking person. There was no need to do that at all. It was an incident and no matter if you are winning or losing the match, if you are going to do it then do it properly with your hands or wait for someone to do it if you don't want to touch the animal. I would also like to question the home club itself (the owners of the owl) as to why was the owl allowed to be there while the match was going on. If they knew that the animal had the habit of landing in the field they should have protected him not only from some angry player but from a sure hit by a ball.

You're right. Maybe I got a little worked up.
