10,000 Birds | Rip Van Winkle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Crow Killing Contest<\/a> <\/p>\n The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Crow Down\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153hunting contest\u00e2\u20ac\u009d where both adults and children slaughter as many crows as they possibly can in two days. Why do they do this? Look at the Maryland-based website Crow Busters, although I warn you you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need a strong stomach for the photographs. Here is a direct (and unedited) quote: <\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 keep in mind the main reason why experienced crow hunters got into the sport in the first place, Fun. Plain old fashioned Fun.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n Some people think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just plain fun to kill enormous numbers of animals and pile up their bodies, and when there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bag limit\u00e2\u20ac\u009d it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s legal to do so. \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 <\/p>\n [The King of the morons, may he rot in hell,] \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 lives in Kansas and in December 2013 celebrated killing his 150,000th crow. On the website he reminisces fondly about his \u00e2\u20ac\u0153best hunt,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d where he killed 3,125 crows in 9 days\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 <\/p>\n It also brings to mind the uncontested link between animal abuse and violent behavior toward fellow humans. \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 <\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What I want to know is: a hundred feet away, how can these people tell the difference between a crow and a raven, which is a protected species?,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d [Missy Runyan, director of the Friends of the Feathered and Furry Wildlife Center<\/a> in nearby Hunter, NY] asks. <\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153And how do you keep the kids safe when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got dozens of people in the woods, blasting away? You shoot a bullet up, sooner or later it has to come down. How do you know it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not going to come down on some kid\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s head?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n The Crow Down does not require non-toxic ammunition, either, which means soon the woods will be filled with lead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n 10,000 Birds | Rip Van Winkle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Crow Killing Contest<\/a><\/p>\n This is an environmental disaster brought to you by blood-thirsty fools.
