Why do people shoot crows?

People may shoot crows for various reasons, including agricultural protection, as crows can damage crops and livestock. In some areas, they are also perceived as pests due to their scavenging habits and noise. Additionally, some hunters pursue crows as part of recreational shooting or to manage their populations, as they can be highly adaptive and prolific. However, such actions can be controversial due to ethical concerns and the ecological role crows play.
