Crow's, like many protected groups , like wolves, etc. have become pests, destroying the ecological balance in areas where their natural predators don't reside in sufficient numbers. Crows eat anything, and, they are smart.

They eat other birds, their eggs, and, pretty soon, all you have in your area are crows...course they do get rid of road kill, and, other rodents, and dead animals.
Crows do not get along with birds of prey, such as hawks, owls, and eagles. They will gather together to mob these birds if they can. Mobbing includes dive bombing, chasing, and harassing. Predators of American Crows include the predatory birds listed above, snakes, raccoons, and man.

Crow's mate for life. Shooting the mate causes a really insane amount of grief, in the crow's spouse, and, it's all noise. It's actually really sad that we can't find another solution to killing them...
