Crow Busters

You people are the most sickeningly smug group of ###holes I have ever met. Have you ever considered that crows actually have livlihoods and wives (if different than your own). People keep these creatures as pets. Why do you hate crows so much? People shouldn't be getting in crows beaks so they shouldn't transfer West nile. if you want to do something useful where people that actually have full souls aren't hate-mailing you all the time, KILL MOSQUITOS. They carry west nile, too. They're worse than crows, and there are more of them. make something that only kills mosquitos, and doesn't do harm to anything else.


Alexis, as far as considering whether crows actually have livelihoods or not, well we have considered it, and so have a great many farmers, biologists and bird watchers. The trouble is that we just don’t like the line of work that they’re in. But then again we don’t particularly care for your average pick-pocket either, even if they are the ideal family provider.

And I think I can speak for all “sickeningly smug ###holes everywhere” when I say that we’re 100% behind your idea about killing mosquitoes. Problem is that we did have something called DDT that worked pretty darn well. That is until a rabid group of arrogant fact challenged “greenies” like yourself forced the product off the market. Not to get off on a rant here, but this little environmental temper tantrum has accounted for a 400% increase in malaria deaths throughout the world; over 1 million per year. And it has now been shown that it was based on flawed research. But what the heck, I’m sure your heart was in the right place! And finally, you had better check the Cliffs Notes version of the “Journal of Medical Virology” to see just how the West Nile Virus pathogen is actually transmitted. Hint: it isn’t by French kissing a crow. But then again we never kept a crow as a pet!
