This is Jella Lena form Vice Media here in Berlin.
We are making a documentary about wild animals. So we are looking a different ways animals can have a impact on humans. Like wild animals migration and the problem they can cause. We started looking in to “good hunting” hunting as a necessary.
In my research we found the crow busters, and I was wondering if anybody would be open to answer some of our questions.
And if there are any German crow busters active in Germany and are open to speak to us.
Would you be representing the same Vice Media that produces the usually controversial and sensational documentaries surrounding large-and-small-scale corruption in various third-world countries; rich countries such as Qatar where actual slavery is condoned, failed nations, and other subject matter generally NSFW? One example that comes to mind it the story of "General Butt Naked" who is portrayed in the Vice production The Cannibal Warlords of Liberia, as a reformed cannibal? Just wondering.
You would likely find the fellows who are members of this organization entirely boring, in comparison, as we are all completely legitimate. Just MHO.

VICE is a global media company that produces documentaries and reports on different topics. I don't think one documentary represents the whole company. At VICE our main objective is to tell the story of our protagonists without influencing it. To not make a statement but simply show a situation. I don't believe something need to be illegal to be interesting. It would just be a report of what you are doing. And why you are doing it.
Years ago some one[a farmer whose land I regularly visited] recommended me to help this female author write a book about crows well I never returned her call....reason should be quite obvious....I can just see it in print "The guns of Autumn" all over again..biased..exaggerated...I wanted nothing to do with it...I would have been a great resource for her to tap but -as I said before-I refused. I have no time for tree hugging lepers skulking about like leaches attaching themselves to your body .....[spoiler]on a more positive note some one suggested I write a book about hawks of new England given my wide experience with them..again no...why? because much of my experience or the half of it is crow related. I do not shoot myself in the foot. You think I wanted to b eon the Johnny Carson show taking bull crap or David Lettermen two of the most unfunniest script heads I ever heard? Yeah, I don 't like either of them before we get into something aforementioned...tasteless so called script heads with boring jokes fit for late night drunkazoids or pot smoking left over blood shot eyed ancient hippies whose foggy heads would find anything funny...by womanizer Johnny Carson or new Yorker uppity and proper forever college boy David letterman... [I don't like any of them late night variety show hosts at all]
Actually, the Vice Documentaries, in hindsight, do perform a service to Western Civilization by showing how well off most of us are and how coddled we* are in comparison to most of the crapholes in the world--and there are a lot of them.
I admit I've watched two of their productions, the one I mentioned about Liberia and "construction slavery" in Doha, Qatar--something I witnessed in-person during 2009 while on a side trip from Afcrapistan. Both in their own way show how one place will never become civilized as we would understand that to mean and the other location (Qatar), claiming to be the height of civilization, is just as uncivilized as the other.
The value from VICE's productions is, IMO, as proof that most of the rest of the planet is a series of tiny to huge dictatorships run by the biggest thug(s) with the most firepower; from Costa Rica and Liberia, to China and Russia. Our "progressives" and "Social Justice Warriors" are simply clueless wusses (a bad day to these types is when the cable goes out for 30 minutes). I've tried to keep this description clean, but one has to see this stuff to understand how blessed the US is--and I am convinced that these blessings are not limitless. Keep an eye on the current invasion in Europe. The EU-nicks are in great danger because they let their "Guest worker" policy get out of control. Keep an eye also on what's happening here, as we're only a bit behind them.
Also, the camera crews that did these pieces are absolutely nuts for risking their lives going into the places they did. A lot of payoff and protection money changed hands to make VICE's flicks. But, that's how it works in thugocracies.
I'm done. Too depressing. Going to try to ambush a turkey tomorrow for therapy.
