Would you try and fight back to kill them?

more importantly, would you be arrested for doing so ?

if running and screaming like a little girl was not an option, i guess i'd have no choice but to take a few swings :p and if i get arrested, couldn't i argue that it was self defense?

If a bear farts in the woods and there is no rabbitt which for him to wipe his butt with, did the bear still fart?

What if you were attacked by a flock of whitish-looking owls and there was a possibility that they were ALBINO spotted owls. I.E. the spots were invisible?

Could you still be charged with harming a spotted owl if indeedy the spots were not spots, but unspots?

I say there would be no problem with pummeling the vicious beasties, legally speaking. Owls are nasty little buggers- a friend of mine was attacked in broad daylight by a barn owl, who knocked him down and broke his glasses! I think as long as you were defending yourself you would not get in trouble (it might be best to refrain from marinating and barbequing it over mesquite afterwards, though).

The only endangered species where I live IS the tree huggers. Death to the spotted h**ters.

You just couldn't let the damn thing die, could you, Venk? I stand by my question:



<< What if you were attacked by a flock of whitish-looking owls and there was a possibility that they were ALBINO spotted owls. I.E. the spots were invisible?

Could you still be charged with harming a spotted owl if indeedy the spots were not spots, but unspots?

Chew on that for awhile.

I'd take out the Alpha male with whatever I had around me...then eat the rest of them as an example to other armadas of spotted owls

You mean a "parliament" of owls, or are they actually sailing some ships during the attack? ;)

Yeah Parliment exactly, but maybe we are dealing with some sea-faring aggressive owls?

Frankly, I couldn't give a hoot. It isn't realistic to imagine multiple owls attacking a human outside of The X Files
