As an example, barn owls eat about 11K rodents in their lifetime. Those rodents would be fouling our grain stores and/or food. All of our food is based on grain. Whether you're vegetarian or eat meat, raptors save you money at the grocery store.
Doesn't it make sense to protect them?
It is, BTW illegal to kill birds of prey. See the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and the Lacey Act of 1900.
