Crow Busters

from: Angie

I have had a fear of crows my entire life. Today I have been searching to find a way to overcome my fear. I considered adopting a baby crow to learn more about them and become comfortable with these mysterious animals. I came across your sight in my search. My jaw dropped when I began to learn that there is an association dedicated to killing these animals. Because you find them annoying and invasive you believe that you have a right to take there lives. I find this absolutely disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourselves as human beings. I assure you that you are setting an example for your families. You may conceder the impact you are making on your children and grand children while you are out committing these acts. You should know that you come across on your webpage as group of soul-less, sick minded red necks.


Angie, not to quibble with your Psychiatrist’s recommendation or anything, but I’m not sure adopting a baby crow is the best way to treat this phobia. Kinda like trying to get over the fear of drowning by sitting in an empty pool and slowly filling it up. Might I suggest a more direct approach, and one that doesn’t involve breaking any Federal Migratory Game laws.

Try hooking up with a crow hunter on a hot flyway some afternoon, and every time you see a screaming crow diving into the decoys, repeat “It is just a bird. I control my fear, it doesn’t control me” while simultaneously pulling the trigger on a load of #7 ˝ handicap trap loads. Could work wonders and is a lot cheaper than an hour on the therapist’s couch. Then again, it might be a bit difficult to find one of our members willing to sit in a blind with someone holding a loaded shotgun that could be subject to massive anxiety attacks. Any volunteers out there folks?

And as far as negatively impacting my children goes, I’ll start getting concerned when my kids become “impacted” enough by my examples to remember to turn the lights out when they leave a room.
