Schoolgirl falconer fights crows
The prefectural government of Saga, plagued by hordes of crows that attack trash and farms around their offices, has hired a high school student who is known as Japan’s only “schoolgirl falconer”, one Misato Ishibashi (17), a 3rd year at Takeo High School in Takeo City. Saga has entrusted Misato’s falcons with ridding the offices of their crows. Misato, who freely manipulates falcons, often participates in competitions to expel avian pests and the like. After the prefecture received word of her getting top honors in a national competition, governor Yasushi Furukawa sent her the request.

“The falcon is a divine punishment against crows. When their eyes meet the glare of the falcon, they will definitely not return." This line alone makes me want a Misato Ishibashi comic book.
Japan...taking back the world one schoolgirl at a time.
I am so glad they are confined to Japan because we would be in trouble if they suddenly all turned against us.
This is one sport I'd like to take up!
