Looking at the list of persecution incidents by year at the right hand side of that link, am hoping that the massive recent increase reflects increased data rather than a real upturn.

Ravens are rare? I'm not familiar with ravens outside Australia. Is this Corvus corax? The RSPB site says they're on its green list, which I assume means not rare. Are they locally rare there?

Not particularly pshute! The thread title comes from a newspaper headline I think, with the usual exaggeration.
