Thanks for answering so quickly. "Farmers" have always had the option
of destroying 'pests' that challenge their bottom line. This includes:
the timber industry culling Black bear, fish farms shooting Great Blue
Herons, and of course Agriculture's battle with wolves, coyote, and
corvids. At times ranchers and farmers get the government, state or
federal to do the 'disposal work.
Once again, why crows in particular? Certainly terns and gulls in our
area are partners in 'crimes and misdemeanors

Thanks Again,
