What kind of a jackass steals an owl?

Really, what kind of goober would break into an bird rehabilitation center and steal an owl? One we hope is caught and kicked in the ass.

The Raptor Trust in Long Hill was broken into (actually cut into) and one of the many birds they are rehabbing, an Eastern Screech Owl, who was injured and is unable to fly, was stolen. Raptor Trust senior veterinary technician Cathy Malok said "I just hope the people who took him realize that this is the best place for him and that they bring him back safe."

The center has 80 aviaries. It rehabilitates about 3,500 birds and hosts 50,000 human visitors each year.

If you have any information on this theft please contact the Raptor Trust or the Morris County police.
