    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 three feet? Hold the gun to it's head, pull the trigger. Poke it to make sure it's dead. If it's not, shoot again.

      Next time, shoot it and drown it. Make sure it dies right away, or don't even try to kill it.

      It's a great day to be young and insane :cool:

        Because it was a *skunk* and I didn't want to be sprayed. Had it been any other sort of animal I was killing, I'd have made sure to shoot it in the head. Have you ever *seen* what it's like to shoot an animal in the head? These panty-waist pussies trying to call me immoral would faint to see such a sight.

        How humane to drown a critter. And, it was still a skunk ... the problem is that one doesn't want to get near it.

          Done it, that's how we make steak from pig. Yes, it's difficult. Try to ignore your feelings on such moments and remember that nature is much more cruel.

          The humane thing is to limit the suffering as much as possible. Nature doesn't care about that suffering, and it doesn't limit it. Drowning a critter takes five minutes. A critter that's caught by a cat and escapes might take five days.

            God, what a stupid _fuck - Bwana, the great white hunter, trying to show off his macho micro-nuts. The only possible way it could have been more pathetic would have been if the ignorant _motherfucker had shot himself in the foot...

                You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Did you even try to comprehend what I wrote? The skunk let loose with his spray *after* I'd closed the door, and still within minutes the whole house (and it's not a particularly small house[^]) was filled with the stench, and for many hours. I don't even want to contemplate a direct hit.

                      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.

                          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.

                                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

                                  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.

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

                                        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.

                                        You're a fool and a hypocrite. And proudly ignorant.

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