[net.misc] correction -- killing animals

  I must make a correction to my earlier posting about killing various
  animals.  In my article I stated that magpies are not dammaging to 
  farms.  I was informed by one net user that that is not the case.  He
  told me that when he was young he was paid $1 per pair for magpie feet by
  his grandpa because the magpies destroyed fruit.  Where I was raised, there
  was no fruit growing.  The only thing magpies ate was dead animals so we
  generally did not shoot them.  My mistake.
