Juror Flirting With John Edwards
Obama's Pot-Smoking Detailed
A soccer player is trying to convince fans in Colombia that he gives a hoot after kicking and killing an owl that was a mascot for a rival team.
Luis Moreno, a defender for the Deportivo Pereira team, booted a live owl that landed on the field during a game over the weekend, The Telegraph reports.
The bird -- which had been stunned after being hit by the soccer ball moments before -- was a mascot for the Atletico Junior squad.
Fans of Atletico Junior have been calling Moreno a "murderer," and the Panamanian player may face legal ramifications for kicking the bird.
"My family is very worried about what happened, and even more because there is an entire country against me -- and I think that's not fair," said Moreno. "I believe that what happened is regrettable. I apologize to the entire country and I believe it is time to let the issue go."
