The healing owl cafe attracts pilgrims. Recently, employees revealed that 30 owls in the shop died seven times a year.

Owl Cafe has become popular in Japan in recent years, and the healing cuteness has also attracted many Chinese tourists to pilgrimage. However, some employees who left the company revealed to the Japanese media "Modern News" that there were 30 love-looking owls in the store, and 7 died within a year. The cruel truth was heartbreaking.

Guests pay to enter the owl coffee shop, after the clerk explained, can interact with the owl up close, let them stand on the wrist of the guest to take photos. Owls of all breeds are displayed and guests are reminded not to disturb them when they are resting. Guests stay in the café for 30 minutes to an hour and receive healing through interaction with owls, but the wonderful experience comes at a high price, with owls spending 365 days a year in the café's cramped space.

Resigned employees revealed that in just one year, seven of the 30 owls in the store died. The reason is that they have been confined to coffee shops for a long time and cannot move freely. In addition, they have to be touched by strange guests without authorization, causing them pressure. Perhaps natural creatures were not adapted to artificial domestication. Even if the owls in the store were in poor physical condition, they could not hide and wait for their physical strength to recover. Some owls even fell from the branches and died directly before the shop assistant realized that they were in poor condition.

The Modern Times also points out other problems. Owls cannot drink freely for fear of defecating in front of guests. To make it easy for guests to take photos, owls, who are used to hunting at high altitudes, are tied to low places. For owls, which are originally solitary animals, being confined to the same space as other species of owls can put them under stress. In addition, noisy sounds and excessively bright light in the store will also cause them discomfort.
