William MacKenzie, aged 68, of Boscobel Drive Shrewsbury was given a lifetime ban earlier this week after being found guilty of nine animal welfare charges brought against him by the RSPCA. MacKenzie can be seen kicking owls in this video.
The BBC did an item on MacKenzie in 2009 in which he says his interest in keepng birds of prey began when he worked in Africa.

Anyone who watched the video and read this article will be horrified, saddened and disgusted by Bill Mackenzies treatment of his owls and birds of prey, who he said were like his children, well if anyone treated their children in this manner they would be locked up for life.
What makes matters worse, if they can get any worse, is the fact that he claimed to be running a rescue when in fact these poor birds needed rescuing from him.
This upset me so much that I felt physically sick, thank god that the birds are in a safe place and being cared for, some are okay but some may never get over the trauma that this poor excuse for a human has put them through.
