Wiltshire's inhabitants should refrain from wearing animal-skin hats.
The equivalent Great Horned Owl in North America has been responsible for the deaths of hunters wearing coonskin and other animal hats. Or so I have been told.

Problem: if you turned a whole possum-skin into a hat, would you be at risk from a Powerful Owl? (This question is theoretical only. No possums have been harmed during the conduct of this thought-experiment).
