Exactly, since my protest non vote is indistinguishable from all the other non votes I don't think it is a useful way to protest. I'd prefer to have my voice heard even if faintly and easily ignored. Where I live, the best option right now is to cast an invalid vote, they make it to the final statistics and don't go to any candidate unlike the blank votes, that get proportionately distributed.

I wasn't familiar with the name "xot", from what I can see they are all from the genuses Otus and Megascops.I see that wikipedia also lists the barn owl as a "xot" but I've never heard that, in the particular region where I live they are know as "xup", probably for the shush sound they make.
Mussol works for all owls (and a stye)
I read in the French wikipedia that they have two words for owl, "chouette" and "hibou" (through origami I was familiar with hibou) depending if it has horns or not but I couldn't understand which is which.
