    Because I've done that before and it's pointless. edit: Also, this was over the weekend. So, even if "animal control" wasn't useless, unless they've changed their attitude and hours, there was no one there even to answer the phone.

        This is for those totally ignorant fools on their moral high-horse about the trapped skunk ... I used a friend's gun to shoot the critter. Pretty humane, right? Wrong! If you people didn't get your ideas about guns and their effects from TV, you'd already know that shooting something doesn't automatically kill it. As I said, I shot the skunk ... at close range, as in less than three feet away. I saw it react to the bullets, and then I slammed the door. Within minutes, the whole house was reeking in skunk stench (which hung around for many hours), so I had more evidence that I'd got him. Later in the day, I went down to dispose of the carcase. It was still alive! With two bullets in it. How humane that was, right? And let's not even get into the suggestion that I drown it.

        OK, so it's the skunks fault that you a- can't shoot straight b- didn't hang around to check if you'd done the job

        Yeah, that would have taken a lot longer than your failed shooting attempt. When I have to kill an animal, I cut it's head clean off. That tends to work pretty quick. If it's a bigger animal, I pay someone to give it an injection, so it goes to sleep.

            Exactly. I have 5 roosters, because I hate having to kill anything. When I do it, I will stick around to make sure it's as quick and painless as it can be.

                        Fool, the question was not whether the animal dies, but how much suffering it endures. I cannot countenance drowning an animal.

                            Yes and I put it to you (but not in the same way as I did your mum) that the animal would have suffered less if it had been drowned than shot and left for several hours to suffer. I really really hope you can one day know the pain and distress you caused that innocent animal because you are too much of a fucking soft cock to put up with an odor.

                                  Just wanted to let you know that you accidently posted this in response to me, when I'm plainly none of these things. Did you mean to respond to yourself ? It's quite the trendy thing to do in here nowadays, I note.

                                    Fool, the question was not whether the animal dies, but how much suffering it endures. I cannot countenance drowning an animal.

                                      Stop holding back, tell us what you really think!

                                        This is for those totally ignorant fools on their moral high-horse about the trapped skunk ... I used a friend's gun to shoot the critter. Pretty humane, right? Wrong! If you people didn't get your ideas about guns and their effects from TV, you'd already know that shooting something doesn't automatically kill it. As I said, I shot the skunk ... at close range, as in less than three feet away. I saw it react to the bullets, and then I slammed the door. Within minutes, the whole house was reeking in skunk stench (which hung around for many hours), so I had more evidence that I'd got him. Later in the day, I went down to dispose of the carcase. It was still alive! With two bullets in it. How humane that was, right? And let's not even get into the suggestion that I drown it.

                                        Why are you telling us here again after the last reaction to the telling of the skunk tale? Are you a gluten for punishment?

                                          Because I've done that before and it's pointless. edit: Also, this was over the weekend. So, even if "animal control" wasn't useless, unless they've changed their attitude and hours, there was no one there even to answer the phone.

                                          So, not bothering to try and lining yourself up for a potential animal cruelty charge is better than attempting to call animal control?
