I don't get how anyone can hate any animal for what it is.... After all humans are the only species that could be removed from this planet without any negative consequences for the ecosystem whatsoever.
Who hates ravens? I agree, charming and elegant...and cheese-thieving Cockneys. (Scene: inside the raven's' den. A variety of cheeses are assembled. "Alright Ray, wot yer got there?" "Alright Vern. Cheese, innit." "Is it the Gouda?" "Nah, Edam." "EDAM!? I SAID GOUDA!" "Sorry Ray, I fort you said, "Don' go there. Y'know, the road. Don' go the road." "Was she there, that bird? Wiv the camera?" "Yeah, why?" "Reckon she's old Bill. Undercover. We'd better lie low fer a bit. Edam! You muppet!"
