  • Some owls are protected or endangered species, if you hit one it would help to try and see if its injured and get it vet attention ASAP. if you cannot locate it then I would suggest you call an owl sanctuary local to the area of the incident and report it to them who may be able to scout the area and try and find it.

    All wild birds are protected.

  • I would imagine if an owl collided with a lorry there was probably something wrong with it already as they are very skillful in flight.

    Are protected, yes, against "intentional" acts. I'd summise that's not really the case here unless the OP is saying the lorry driver is deliberately roaming back roads looking for owls to attack. :D

    Maybe it was depressed.

    To be honest even if he was, would you convict given who the only prosecution witness is?

    I saw a pheasant run across the road and jump into the side of two people riding a motorbike. They must've felt/seen it but didn't stop, and the pheasant was killed instantly.


    I'm an animal lover and hate to see things like that. I'd stop no matter what I hit.
