Eagle Owls confiscated in Costa Teguise

Guardia
Civil
officers
have
confiscated
two
Eagle
Owls
from
a
woman
in
Costa
Teguise,
who
was
not
keeping
them
in
adequate
conditions.

Officers
from
Seprona
acted
after
various
reports
that
a
woman
had
been
seen
walking
with
two
owls
in
the
resort
and
posing
for
photos
with
tourists.

Documentation
provided
by
the
owner
of
the
owls
showed
that
one
of
the
birds
had
been
acquired
after
the
animal
welfare
law
of
2023,
which
forbids
their
purchase. 
The
owner
also
said
she
was
keeping
the
birds
in
her
bedroom,
and
that
she
was
not
registered
on
the
zoological
register
that
requires
such
birds
to
live
in
adequate
conditions.

On
veterinary
advice,
the
owls
are
being
cared
for
at
Rancho
Texas
until
a
decision
is
made
on
their
future.
