Why are they protected? They're rats with wings.
they're covered by migratory bird protection legislations from what i read. and some of the seagull spiecies are pretty endangered. can't tell you more than that, i just accepted that the sky thieves dickheads cannot be touched
I feel like the default is that you aren't allowed to kill animals. Not as in most laws outlaw killing any animal, just that there are probably a lot of laws about randomly killing animals that aren't like tiny bugs and stuff. Like you can't just kill a deer unless you have a hunting permit. You can't catch fish without a fishing license. Sure, you're probably allowed to kill animals on your property that are a nuisance or anywhere in defense, but I wouldn't just assume I can kill a random animal.
I think there's a clear difference between an animal that's a known nuisance and any other. If a rat and an emu both wander into my yard, the rat's life is forfeit, but I'm not gonna fuck with the emu for multiple reasons.
Probably for the best, they defeated the Australian army in the 1932 Emu war.
