PURMEREND, Netherlands – An eagle-owl that has reigned terror over a small Dutch town for more than a year has been captured and will be relocated.
Dubbed the “terror owl” by locals, the bird of prey has been swooping down on unsuspecting residents and gouging flesh. At least 50 people have been injured, many requiring stitches.
“The attacks often lead to nasty injuries, including hefty bumps, cuts and scratches,” Purmerend leaders said in a written statement.
