Im really concerned about this, because this morning i was walking to el Nacional and i saw this poor Owl or Lechuza tied up to a trash can... im not sure if it might belong to some of the guys who clean windshields or whom, but i know for sure it should be free, anyone has the phone number for MEDIO AMBIENTE...

Are they not trying to sell it? offer them a few pesos if you are upset by it, chances are it's wings will be broken if ti is tied up and not freaking out!

They have an owl conservation project.

The ministry site is www.ambiente.gob.do but I couldn't get it to load.

If they aren't selling him then I see no reason they would have it there, they would have eaten it by now if it was not of worth to them. Try offering a few pesos for him. The chances are its wings will be broken by now so if you get it what you gunna do. I got given a hawk some time ago, I called the zoo I called the vets and no one was interested at all, I ended up killing it in the end to put it out of its misery, no life sitting in a box in my kitchen and I don't find birds make very good pets.

I don't know the difference. The kid said "buho." I thought that meant owl.

But folks call "mero"grouper; it's sea bass.
