A very sad incident.

I just witnessed a very sad incident. It is quite common in Singapore that you see shooters aiming their rifles at crows and shooting them down. The shooters are here to kill the crows near my house. Other than the loud bang sound which is very frightening, i always thought that it was just another shooting, and at times i will still stay to watch the shooters do their work and be happy for them when they managed to kill another crow. But today, things are so different. It's more like i am seeing things from a crow's view instead of the shooter's. The shooter was shooting crows from the tree just outside my kitchen's window. He managed to injure one crow, its tail got a shot and was trying hard to fight for survivor among the leaves of the trees. The next minute, another shot came and the crow just drop down from the tree and laid motionless on the ground. The crow actually tried hard to live. The first thing that came to my mind is, why has this act become so cruel? I was wondering why can't the people just cut the trees, destroy their nest to force the crows to go to other places, instead of destroying their lives.. If birds are smarter, they may be the ones who rule the world instead of human beings.. Then will we be the ones who are taking the place of the crows??
