In South Africa, owls face their greatest danger not from predators — but from people. Studies show that dozens of owls die every year on highways, especially along the N1 and N4 routes, struck by speeding vehicles as they swoop low to hunt. Others perish after eating poisoned rats, victims of human pest control. These silent hunters, symbols of wisdom, now fall victim to the world they silently protect. Each feather left on the tar is a reminder that our roads are claiming the night’s guardians.
