      The whole reason I went vegan , was not because it is cool or trendy like people make it to be.I just closely observe animals and their behaviour and it just marvels me how beautiful each animal is. It saddens me when people factory produce and use animals at circus and zoos and experiments just because we declared ourselves to be supreme of all species in the food chain and that makes me sad. I have more respect for people who hunt and eat and are aware of where their food comes from and understand the intricacies of animal and human co-existence than a man with big beard posing by his trophy hunt.

      Be careful what you wish for. I don't see owls having much fun or happiness in their life, worrying about where their next meal is coming from. Think of all the things you enjoy in this life. Can an owl do any of them? Sitting on a branch all day long waiting to catch a mouse - do you really want to do that? How much mental peace does an owl have, I wonder.
      Can they travel, read books, watch films, make friends, play football, eat nice food, listen to music, and, most importantly, improve their minds? I'm not an owl so I can't categorically answer, but I would not choose their life over a human one, despite all the reasons one might present against being born human.
      I think we have more freedom generally, and we also have the chance to attain the ultimate freedom of enlightenment. Animals, although no higher or lower than humans, do not have this freedom.

      It seems odd that a divine being would have created some owls with one ear lower than the other and some owls that don't. I mean, if that power is 'perfect' then it would surely bestow such advantageous hunting characteristics on all owls? Thus, the evidence of inconsistency within the design itself suggests to a far greater degree that natural selection and evolution are the driving forces behind life. Not as you say; a 'creator'. But I think we can all agree that, from our perspective, these are magnificent creatures. A mouse might think otherwise!
