Kenya: Do Not Poison the Crows

In the 1890s, crows were introduced to East Africa to tackle a waste disposal problem. They were first recorded in the port of Mombasa, Kenya, in 1947. As with many introductions of non-native species to other countries, this has resulted in the crows preying on native Kenyan species. Kenyans are also troubled by the birds pooping on them and the crows are also accused of eating crops and attacking and eating chicks.
Hold on a minute! These crows are still sentient beings that never asked to be introduced to Kenya or anywhere else where they do not belong. These are still intelligent and amazing birds who do not deserve to be killed in this way for simply being born the "wrong" species in the wrong place.
I understand that there is a need to control the crows' populations in order to protect other animals. I also understand that protecting human health and safety is very important. However, there are more humane and non-lethal ways of dealing with Kenya's crow problems; the crows can be sterilised humanely using products like OvoControl, and measures to ensure rubbish is dealt with appropriately and safely and kept secure, as well as banning people from feeding them and also keeping chicks securely indoors and using loud noises as deterrents to scare crows away from farms and farmed animals, including chicks could also help with the crow problem.
Poison is a very cruel way for any animal to die. Rat poison, for instance, slowly turns their insides into a soup and they can take days or even over a week to pass away. Poisons, such as the poison/s that would be used in Kenya to control crows, can also affect other animals that may eat the carcasses of the poisoned animals. If the poison is used in a manner in which it could be accessed by other animals, it can also poison non-target animals, including other wildlife (such as the wildlife that the poisoning is aiming to protect) as well as dogs. If used freely, it could even be picked up and eaten by children. The issue isn't just about the threats the poisons can cause to other animals, or even just the suffering involved before death; even just the act of killing an animal when it is unnecessary is wrong!
Kenya is planning on killing a million of these birds in this way. This is just unethical and wrong!
I kindly urge the Kenyan Government to reconsider their cruel decision to kill the crows and to consider the safe and effective use of humane and non-lethal alternatives to control these birds instead.
