There was a time when killing birds was necessary to get food
There are still places where this is true. So it is offensive only
where there is no need to kill them for food. Except in places
where they destroy crops. I have had redwinged blackbirds
pull up several long rows of corn I had planted, and wished
I could have killed them all.
