Stone The Crows - Japan

Aug 2001
Crows were once considered sacred by the Japanese, but in recent months central Tokyo has suffered at the hands of around forty thousand of the large scavengers.

Crows were once considered sacred by the Japanese, but in recent months central Tokyo has suffered at the hands of around forty thousand of the large scavengers, accused of everything from strewing rubbish around the streets to attacking humans. Local Government has been forced to take uncompromising measures to combat the 'bird bites man' hysteria.

Hmmm...thats a toughie, but I think I have the solution. Import thousands of giant bird eating spiders, problem solved. Then bring in some snakes to eat the spiders. Then import hordes of Gorilla's to eat the snakes. The Gorilla's can co-exist with humans, pick up garbage, run for office ect...

people should put their trash in cans with lids..duh

This reminds me a little of Japanese Wolves. The people there were very good to them, and wanted them around, but then turned on them and shot them all. In their case, it was sadly necessary because the wolves got rabies, but these poor crows are just trying to live and protect their babies, and people are torturing and killing them. Suffocating baby birds. That's just sick.

Wow, instead of cleaning the garbage from the streets of Tokyo...the Japanese hire people to suffocate young Crows.

I have many crows living in tall trees about 100m from my house; they are no trouble and never come near to the houses. It looks like they need to introduce wheelie Bins in Japan; I thought they were supposed to be an advanced society?

Now thats why there was soo many crows in solid snake!

[RedMalice25]

Please don't kill them! Its humanity's fault anyhow.
