Well, what can I say?

I really believe that there are some alterior motives at work here. I
believe that the owl was trapped simply because it was creating such a
stir. People wanted to see it, and chances are that a few out there
probably wanted to either kill it or use it to throw fuel to the debate
of logging.

Was it in the best interest of the bird? Probably makes no difference.
The bird was apparently happy. It's life might have been in a little
danger because there are some wackos out there, but let me ask you this.
If it was something like a Xantus' hummingbird, or something equally rare
and out of place (Hooded Warbler in Discovery Park is another good
example) would they have tried to trap it? Of course not. Of course
they would want to make sure that it was healthy! Oh, and of course they
need to put it back in its proper habitat! I'm sorry, but if you ask me,
they should have let it be.

Fustrated,
