Post subject: Pet Owls in China

I was wondering if they are sold in the market as pets here? I know they are considered food in Guangzhou but I couldn't find anything on keeping them as a pet here.

Owls should not be pets. I have seen falcons here for sale so I'm guessing you can get owls too.

Agree with the above. An owl is a wild bird as are any raptors. Trying to keep one in an apartment is a face gaining cruelty.

I'd be frightened in case my pet puma ate it.
