(From the June/July Zephyr) Take it or Leave it: IN DEFENSE OF RAVENS (And CROWS)…by Jim Stiles

An excerpt:

Recently, the Utah Wildlife Board proposed a hunting season for crows. While they are not particularly tasty and are known for their intelligence, crows have often been blamed by farmers for agricultural losses via crop damage—crows have to eat, after all—and so, next September, crows may be fair game for anyone itchy to shoot something.

Critics argue that the crows do not constitute a significant threat to agriculture and, in Utah, are not as prolific as they are back east. And some are concerned that most people can’t differentiate  between crows and their larger cousins, the raven. It worries me too.
