shooting a crow in Queensland now fetches a fine of "wait for it" $225,000 and/or two years in jail.
To be totally cynical, in this absolutely politically correct world of ours, I guess in one's defence one could say, "Well, I was just shooting at my neighbour and the crow got in the way," and then you might get off with a lesser sentence of just trying to kill a person.
"There have been a couple of previous instances," Jim Mackin, a Secret Service spokesman, told CNN, recalling at least one previous case where a bird infected with the virus was found dead inside the White House grounds.
Asked if the Secret Service had any reason to believe anyone intentionally sent a bird infected with the virus to the White House grounds as a terrorist act, the spokesman said, "There is no indication (this) is anything more than the birds dying ... and dying on the White House grounds."
Mackin said the agency was treating this as a public safety issue as opposed to anything directed at the White House.
The West Nile Virus has killed 16 people in the United States since 1999, according to Keller, who added that most of those individuals' immune systems were already compromised by other diseases such as cancer.

But no. That would be too simple.

1/3 of Japan's 130,000 crows = 43,333 Tokyo crows, and divide that by $8,000,000 = $184.62 per crow. . . but that can't be right, could it?
