Apparently the dominant species in London's Battersea Park is crow. Throughout the whole article no mention is made of eliminating these dangerous birds.

Joggers are today being warned about violent crows in London parks after an attack left a man bloodied and needing hospital treatment.

Justin Keay was swooped on by two crows in what experts have called a severe case of "mobbing" - where two or more birds gang up on an assumed predator to keep them away from their young.

Now other runners are being told to stay well away from fledgling crows to avoid further attacks. ...

A spokeswoman for Wandsworth council, which is responsible for the park, said: "We will be talking to bird experts to see if it is a more widespread problem. If it turns out there's any need to alert the public we will do so."

Hm, if crows are dangerous why do the Londoners tolerate them in their parks? Humans should stay away from fledging crows? Why not just kill all the crows and reclaim the park for humanity?

Anyway, I guess it's better than being attacked by flying pigs.

Reminds me of The Simpsons. Every time they show the nuclear power plant you hear a crow caw at least once.
