That every species is a part of the food chain is not in dispute, but the food chain is about survival. So-called delicacies don't come into it.
If any creature needs its numbers controlling it is we humans - the worst parasite on the planet!

Sorry,sorry,but rabbits play prettily too and pigeons and the cats that c**p on our gardens.If you were a farmer and saw the wheat you,d sown eaten up by rooks and no bread for the hungry humans you would shoot them too.
Mice play dearly,sweet little things,and rats piddling all over foodstuffs and leaving disease in it's wake.
Yes, life is survival,but for all we human's do rooks,rabbits,pigeons,rats,etc.live on.
If we didn't keep them under control,just as any other predator, struggling to survive, only one species would still be on this planet and that would p robably(I think)be rats!
