this is my fav video now

I watched WITHOUT sound at first and can I just say, big mistake.

Guys, this is really horrible? It’s not a water bird having fun; it’s an owl being mistreated. Owls aren’t meant to get wet because their feathers don’t have the same kind of waterproof coating as other birds. They don’t readily dry and if they so much as fly in the rain they can struggle to keep warm, go mouldy and die. This animal can’t stop itself from spinning or resist in any way because it’s legs are restrained and its feathers are waterlogged. Owls are meant to be wild animals and they shouldn’t be treated like this or kept as pets.

Owls can die very easily of the cold after being dunked in water, and it’s most likely the poor thing got sick after this vile video was shot. When I say I hate how internet culture treats animals, I specifically mean examples like this!
