Man some of you are heartless.
Just a few snippets about Magpies. If you are OK with killing Magpies, well, you pretty much are OK with slaughtering any animal. A Magpie is smarter than your dog or cat:

The Eurasian magpie is believed not only to be among the brightest of birds but among the most intelligent of all animals. Along with the jackdaw, the Eurasian magpie's nidopallium is approximately the same relative size as those in chimpanzees and humans, significantly larger than the gibbon's.[3]

Also, every time you kill a Magpie, they hold a sad little Magpie funeral, on which you were the grim reaper:

Magpies have been observed engaging in elaborate social rituals, possibly including the expression of grief.[12]

Please don't kill Magpie's guys. Yes they can be a bit of a pest, but their jerk behaviour isn't their fault. Just think of them like that one loveable jerk you know, but you kinda put up with him, because he just doesn't know any better... kinda like me.
