Symbolism will be their downfall.
A local news story I saw the other night was about a missing barn owl from a nature center.
They said the owl was on a "special diet" and it was about 10 years old. They said they had been in possession of the owl for "some time."
They said the owl was "used once every two weeks or so" for "instruction"
Total BS story and I noted that to the wife as we were watching it. Now the news story says it has been returned.
"Special diet" = there is no fucking owl missing and the special diet is blood
Said it had a deformed wing in the article on the web but no mention of that during the three mentions of it I saw on the local news.
Now there's a WaPo owl story. They love the little symbolism bullshit.
