For the ignorant fools (more about the skunk)

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.

My god you're a little cunt. Do you think the overall outcome was better than if you had of drowned it?
I wish I was as fortunate as fortunate as me

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

I'm not sure if this was an accidental repost, or if you (rightly) figured this was worth saying twice.

nah, you forget, I've seen (and more) your mum's

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.

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.
Well, at least you tried.

You know, if someone I remotely respected said that about me, it may hurt my feelings a little. However, in this case, I found it amusing and ironic.

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.

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

How come you didn't just call animal control?
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?
The funny thing is he could have called animal control the entire time and had them lay the trap, etc. I have a lot of rabbits around me house, but that doesn't mean I'm going to shoot them. At some point I'll just get a live trap and try and catch them. If I catch something else I can always call the professionals.

That's sad. I dislike suffering, and no animal of any type should be put through it. But, you still tried, and you deserve some credit for that. On the other hand, a Google search suggests that to keep skunks away, mothballs might be useful. If the skunk has to die, at least let it be for a purpose - to prevent other skunks from getting caught in a similar trap and dying in the same way.

TRIED WHAT!?!?! He traps the animal, starves it for days, shoots it to wound it and leaves it suffering for hours. All he had to do was make a phone call, as has been observed repeatedly above. TRIED WHAT!?!? Don't give the little son of a bitch the psychological cover he's looking for. He's a sadistic sick little _shithead and should be treated as such.

I don't deliberately do psychological cover. I simply observed that he tried to kill the skunk in a (relatively) humane manner, and although he failed, he went to the effort of doing so. I've said multiple times that I dislike the idea of killing, but in this case he tried to put it out of its' misery. And incidentally, caps lock isn't very pleasing on the eyes. Furthermore, I don't care if you disagree with me - I learn from every reply - but if you can't make your point without swearing, then you aren't making it properly. I've had a bad enough week as it is, don't make it any worse.

Starving an animal for days, shooting it to wound it and leaving it to suffer is hardly killing it humanely, particularly when there was a simple option available. Swearing in this particular forum is a bit of a gray area. There are no kid sister rules here; if you find it that unpalatable you have a number of options. Re Caps Lock - please. Although you at least didn't claim it hurt your ears... As for making your week worse... sorry. (Although it's still Monday; bad day, maybe, but it's a little early to write the whole week off, isn't it?) ;)

Absolutely. There certainly was a simple option available. However, it was certainly better than letting it starve to death for days, then removing the corpse. I would personally have freed it and showered, but compared to the first option, shooting it was an attempt at being humane.

Eh, I didn't think it would hurt to ask.

I'm talking about a 7-day period. There's just been an entire set of days which have really wound me up; CP's not a psychology site, so I won't go into more detail.
