The fans of owls are the naturalists and artists who paint them. Generally farmers do not like them and consider them predators. If you have met an owl personally you would be truly scared of them.

Owls are part of the natural order of things. They keep down the population of small rodents and snakes.

Owls are very good at keeping small animal populations under control. If they weren't there, many animals such as rats, mice, lizards and small birds, would eat themselves into starvation due to uncontrolled breeding.

Owls are also good at fertilizing the dirt by leaving their turds everywhere. Also, the pellets they cough up that contain the skeletons and fur of animals they ate are great for compost. Many animals will also use the pellets for bedding and a source of calcium. Rats and mice especially will chew on the bones and skulls left in owl pellets as a source of calcium and will use the fur as bedding.
