    That has to be the most random title for a thread I have ever seen...

    I don’t think there’s a criminal offence of assaulting an owl with silly string.

    :lol:

    If only there was a hyphen for added drama - "silly string attack on boy-carrying owl".

    Would think even the dullest CPS lawyer could cobble together a charge under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and/or the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

    The use of the string has clearly caused the owl some distress but fortunately they managed to keep it safe and I don’t think there’s a criminal offence of assaulting an owl with silly string.
    Wouldn't it come under animal cruelty if it cause the owl distress.

    Heh, yep. An unusual assault, and quite comical in some ways (though probably not for the kids involved). Still, not as bad as the local girl who had to have her stomach removed after drinking liquid nitrogen.

    Brought to mind the book/film 'A Kestrel for a Knave'/'Kes'. Great book and very good film.
