Speak out for magpies and crows

At the bottom of the field where i walk - someone has put a magpie in a very small cage - so small it can't even flap it's wings - it has no shelter from rain or sun and is very stressed.  I have also seen 2 crows in a very small cage in similar circumstances and was told that it is legal because they are "vermin" and that it is to protect songbirds. 

This seems to be a very cruel practice- please can we join together and get this made illegal
