It's not that I am a die hard animal lover. I understand the food chain and I do eat meat. I stumbled across your web site as I was looking for information on crows. From what I read in your site your whole basis for hunting these birds is that they are a nuisance or so you think. It's not my place to tell anyone who or what they have the right to be a annoyed at. I will however tell you nothing annoys me more than people walking around with the misconception that their life and reality of the physical world around them is so much more important and meaningful, than than that of a crow or other animal, that they have the right to extinguish that so called lesser life form solely because they are annoyed. To watch a moron with a gun shooting in the air at a bird he isn't going to eat could only be about a thrill kill. We'll fix that bird for wanting to eat survive and raise a family. How can people actually pride them selves on being able to kill animals? First of all it isn't a fair contest. Try hunting without guns or man made weapons. 


Mr. Kennedy manages to cover all the bases in one email. Well, lets knock them down in a row. 

For the last time, we ARE better than animals, always have been and always will be. Period. Historically, biblically and legally we are not and should not be considered the same as animals. To suggest otherwise destroys the concept of the human race. Nuff said.

Secondly, all destructive life on Earth can be excused by saying that it is just trying to survive, so why interfere. Well guess what, so are we!! Cockroaches, rats, fleas, termites, locusts, mosquitoes and yes, crows are all trying to survive. Tough! They will just have to try harder.

Finally, the "play fair" argument. Some how it is cheating to use our God given intelligence to hunt. I guess you would rather us "stone" our prey to death or drive larger prey into pits and drown them. Didn't think so!

So, I think we hunters will continue to walk around with our misconception of our life and reality of the physical world around us. In the mean time, you might want to change your last name. Too obvious.
