A tale of two birds

Should one species of animal ever be killed in order to save another?

The RSPB has come under fire for killing crows but they say it's necessary in order to protect threatened curlews. Martin Harper, global conservation director of the RSPB says "unless we intervene we will lose that species" but Bev Garside from animal welfare group the Hunt Investigation Team, argues there are other, more humane ways to protect curlews.
