Will Harry Potter’s Iconic Pet Disappear into The Dark?
Sacrifice of goats and also humans by tantriks is known, but now owls too figure in the list of black magic doers, who use the owl’s skull, ear-tufts, claws, heart, eyes, bones etc. for their rituals. Also, some of their parts are used as medicines, and people use them for street performances too. In the report Jairam Ramesh said that India’s wildlife faces many pressures and appealed to all to be more aware and realise the importance of birds and animals. He mentioned, “Owls are as important to our ecosystem as the tigers or any other better known charismatic species, and concrete ground action is to be undertaken to curb such trade.” The report recorded that 15 of the 30 owl species in India are being illegally traded.
Being a wildlife enthusiast, I would discourage all from keeping birds as pets. Birds are meant to be in the open, to use their wings to fly; it’s criminal to cage them. For parents who wish to fulfil their child’s wishes and buy them owls to keep as pets, here is a useful little sermon by Mekhla Pathak (ornithologist) – “Owls are ‘wild birds of prey’, which suggests that keeping them in the confines of four walls can be highly dangerous. Besides, their screeching, territorial nature, and diet of eating raw whole animals can become quite a pain.”
So, if you chance upon owls being traded, do a favour to the majestic bird by reporting to the authorities. And if your child fancies a pet, must we remind you that a dog is a wonderful companion. Why, even a soft toy is a much better idea.
