We have cameras at various spots throughout our city and this happened near a camera. We were able to turn the camera and see the dead owl in the grass at the edge of the parking lot of a liquor store, a very busy spot in our city.
The citizen said he witnessed this act and got a license plate number of the van the men were in.
Everyone in the department was outraged at such a cruel act on an animal.
I came in to work tonight and the Sgt told us that after thorough investigation it was determined that the owl actually crashed into the van, the men got out of the van to check what happened. They poked the bird to see if it was dead, then when it was clear to then the bird was dead, they got in their van and went home. They had done nothing wrong.
This is a good example of the saying, "there are always two sides to every story."
