‘Clear carcasses of crows before cats get to them’

Around 7 a.m., on January 10, when I went on a stroll at the park at Indira Nagar Fourth Cross Street, I saw carcasses of two crows. I am not alone: for nearly two weeks now, residents from various parts of the city, notably Indira Nagar, Sashtri Nagar, Thiruvanmiyur, Velachery and Neelankarai are reporting crow deaths in their neck of the woods. What I find additionally disturbing is the sight of severed crow wings this morning at this park as well as at a road in the neighbourhood on an earlier day. At the park, I found severed crow wings in a few places.
