“”I guess you haven’t tried eating an eagle, a mouse, a grasshopper, or CROW.””

Only reason eagles are around is because they are protected by law, were it not for that those raising sheep and anything else big enough for an eagle to take would kill them off.

I kill every mouse and rat I see.

A swarm of grass hoppers can destroy a productive filed in a matter of hours.

Crows are no different, we kill them every chance we get.

You just mentioned 4 critters that humans have no use for. Ask the Australians about cattle, they’re having a feral cattle problem now. They’re smart and can kill you. You can go hunt them to.

There’s a reason many species are protected, without that protection we would probably just eliminate them and concentrat on species that serve a purpose.

Are you the expert on what species actually serve a purpose?

Many years ago, we would dynamite whole trees full of roosting crows - we thought they were destroying the crops.

Then, someone had the bright idea to investigate the contents of their digestive tracts.

They found the crows stomachs to be full of the remains of insects that were actually *damaging* to crops.

You seem to think like Bill Gates, who apparently believes that ‘dimming the Sun’ will somehow HELP Earth.

I guess you both got your scientific degrees from the same institution.
