Only Humans Are Capable Of Evil

I really don’t understand the war being raged in the countryside against crows, magpies and jackdaws.
I heard another horror story about a pig farmer who traps up to 80 jackdaws every night, which he then clobbers over the head (trapping of corvids is also legal under licence).
He feeds the birds to his pigs as extra protein.
Like most corvid murderers, this farmer loves to shoot.
Isn’t it interesting, too, that sport, a recreation, is placed at the top of the pile over humanity.
At least corvids clean up the rotting carcasses of sheep (often, pregnant sheep) left in fields because the farmer can’t be bothered to move them.
And even if we do disapprove of the behavior of corvids or parakeets, that is no reason to kill them.
We might as well imprison cuckoos.
This all reminds me of a recent story about a cleric who sentenced a dog to be stoned.
Remember that only humans are capable of evil.
That is what makes us unique.
