No kidding. And why would wild cats kill them and leave them? And if
these cats have been around a long while, why they suddenly be
killing the crows. Sorry, but those things are about as big as a cat
and why would they attack crows when there is surelyother easier prey
around. Sounds like someone is just looking for a reason.

Oh, they most definitely are looking for a reason. They've been trying to
get rid of these cats for a long time, but those who are interested in
animal protection (there are so very few of them--this is Japan, after all)
have managed to stave off the cat haters. I'm really worried that they'll
use this now. As a non-Japanese, my clout here is almost nil. However, I'm
hoping to convince some of the more rational people that the cats are not at
fault. This could be a difficult battle!
