The Wildlife Board should be ashamed of themselves for approving this. An interesting and frightening point about the Carolina Parakeet, Sharon. This is just disgusting. Perhaps we should have a wildlife appreciation stamp to be sold to all of the rest of us. I bet we would best the hunters in dollars given, but even then we would have no voice as long as blowhards like Bair rule the roost.
Ron, thanks or sharing this article. It is one of the most disgusting, despicable acts of so called hunting I have heard of. Incidently, my son lives in Utah and is a hunter. I spoke to him abut this and here is what he said.
He went on to say that to teach young people to hunt and kill any animal or bird indiscriminately serves no purpose, teaches them nothing about respect for nature and the environment and as he said is simply wrong! It is sad that the board members were not prepared to listen to reason and yes, you are probably right in that the agenda was set before the meeting.
Sorry this is long but the act of hunting responsibly has been of interest to me for many years. I am not vegetarian and enjoy many types of meat, game and fowl. However to hunt for so called sport fox hunts , or pelts many animals or body parts elephants, whales etc has been proven time and again to do more harm than good. This is such a bad decision on so many levels.
Okay, I will get off my soapbox! And thanks again for bringing this to our attention. Very interesting, Angela. Several long-time hunters who spoke at the meeting feel the same way as your son and are very strongly opposed to the crow hunt.
Tourism dollars are a huge interest and concern of state officials and I think they pay attention to how the state is viewed by potential visitors. That possibility is being discussed.

They are likewise worried over the possibility that hunters may fail to classify black birds from other dark birds, specifically ravens that are considered protected species.
Utah officials revealed that crows have tripled in the past 12 years, so the hunt in fall was seen necessary to control the noise and clutter created by these black birds. Joan of Kanab said. I have no reason to believe crow will be any different. Data from one national birding organization, however, suggest the other way around—that crows are declining in Utah. Besides September, crow hunts will take place between December 1 and February 28 every year in Utah. You can hunt crows in Utah Ravens for over centuries have been associated with death and dark omens and the symbolism of the raven creates a dark and eerie staging for the reader.
In several Native American cultures, the raven is portrayed as a selfish, trickster figure, not be trusted. In London, the ravens at the Tower of London are portrayed as guardians of the Tower. Their distribution throughout the Northern Hemisphere is one reason why there are so many myths and stories.
The raven can be found all throughout the Northern Hemisphere from the icy Artic to the Mediterranean.
