Panama defender Luis Moreno is facing sanctions after he kicked an injured
owl that had landed on the field during a league game for his Colombian club
Deportivo Pereira against Atlético Junior.

The owl was being treated Monday at a local veterinary clinic in
Barranquilla after Moreno had kicked the bird and is expected to recover
from a suspected minor fracture to its right leg.

The bird, which serves as mascot for Atlético Junior, was first struck by
the ball near the Pereira penalty area prompting the referee to stop play.
As the referee and players discussed what to do Moreno - apparently
impatient over the delay with his team losing 2-1 - was seen to kick the
bird towards the touch-line with his left foot.

"The player should be severely punished for this painful, horrible act of
intolerance," Ramon Jesurum, president of Dimayor [the Colombian league],
said before adding that the case would go before the Dimayor's disciplinary
committee.

Atletico Junior fans chanted "murderer" at the Panamanian player, according
to Colombian media. He was also reprimanded by opponents and apologised
after the game.

"I apologise to the fans, it wasn't my intention," he said as he left the
field escorted by police.
