I had a crow in one of my trees that just would not shut up for hours. Took a co2 bb pellet pistol and winged him in the leg, wasn’t trying to kill, just scare off. i kind of felt a little bad but not so much. especially after i have seen what a group of these crows will do to smaller animals like small rabbits and such.

That's hilarious. Just this Friday I had reason to recall the ads in Boy's Life for Remington rifles, which featured short cartoon strips of , e.g., Boy Scouts shooting crows with a Remington rifle. Varmits, you know. No explanation needed.

I was very far from knowing anything about this, but I WAS a Boy Scout, so it made sense to me.

well i didn’t think it was hilarious. i really don’t like thepossibility of taking any life without a good reason, which was why again i wasn’t trying to kill. but i have little sympathy for crows when i’ve seen how THEY gang up on and go after weaker animals. it’s deliberate and they’ve got evil intelligence. they are unnecessarily cruel.
