The shooters are licensed shotgun holders who assist the city hall to help cull crows. They are rules on line of sights for shooting and handing for shooters. The gun owners have to pay for their own ammo and petrol to help the city hall in the exercise. A few RM is rewarded per bird. It may sound easy but a crow is a moving target and not stationary as how we trained at the range. So we sometimes spent more to cull a crow than the reward. The bird shots are short range is like sandlike pellets. It is very light. This practise is also done in Singapore.
when the crow is too much.... people start complaining abot it... when the authority trying to do something abot it... some other people complaining..... what the heck with u all people.....
@Jmn-ux9oc last time there was a proposal to cut down all trees then ppl say cannnottt. So the city hall invited us to cull this way. But the best way to keep crows away is to keep our neighbourhood clean. Keeping clean is the toughest. No one dare shouts at the traders or sellers putting garbage callously but at the people trying to sort out their issues in the first place.
That is operation done by the city management authority at most cities in malaysia, and i think other countries also do it as well, maybe. Controlling certain animal population such as birds ( black crow & swallows), dogs, cats, monkeys, cows, rats. There are various methods used, such as shooting, using traps, catching by hand or tools, sedatif, etc depends on the types and situations. Only few types are been killed/disposed such as crows and rats.
PELLETS FROM THE BUCKSHOT WILL COME DOWN RAINING ON YOUR VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING OR RIDING. FACED WITH THESE INCIDENT A NUMBER OF TIMES PREVIOUSLY WHEN RIDING MY MOTOR BIKE AND DRIVING. IT'S HAZARDOUS TO ROAD USERS. THATS THE PROBLEM OF DBKL. INSTEAD OF A SOLUTION IT BECOMES A NUISANCE.
Civilization is questionable. The cartridge bullet contain 18-22 ball bearings, what goes up will come down on public asset, a potential dropping hazard that can damage asset and kill human beings.

Pellets also fall down in accelerated speed that may still be harmful. The animal rights societies should do something about this.
No it does not fall in accelerated speed. It spreads down like sand.
