I Think Wild Animals Should Stay As Wild Animals

I live in Egypt! Two years ago my daughter and I were shopping at the mall. As we were leaving, an owl in a cage at the pet store caught our attention. How miserable it looked. The cage was just a bit larger than the owl.

Animal actvists in egypt have been telling the public not to buy these poor caged animals so as to discourage pet shops from selling them. However, we bought the owl!

I just mentioned this because a few minutes ago I was on my roof, enjoying the evening weather . I heard an owl in the distance. I hear it quite often. Then it flew over my balcony still making that owl sound! 😁 Is this the owl we bought and freed? I’d like to think so. Just the feeling We gave it freedom and the sound of freedom it let out, felt amazing. ❤️

Kinda sounds like you helped fund an industry that abuses animals, though. When you buy the owls, that gives them an incentive to breed more of them. You'll free one, but enslave another, in theory.

Yes. That is what activist here warn us against. I just couldn’t go without letting it free. I passed recently and did not find more owls. I do hope activists are taking action against these pet shops @BlueVeins
