An owl was accused of being a witch and was interrogated by some superstitious Mexican villager after it was set on fire.
The animal was filmed being questioned by its captors who had it bound and put in a cage in the city of Durango, north-west Mexico.
The female villagers can be heard in the video demanding that the poor animal in pain reveal its human name and turn itself back into a woman if it wants to be free.

The whole incident was filmed and later uploaded to social media by the villagers.
The city of Durango, like many places in Mexico, includes the superstition that some women are witches that have the power to turn into animals.
The video has since been condemned by social media users who urged the police to track down the women and punish them as a lesson to the others.
It is unknown what happened to the owl following its interrogation.
