It's a quicker death but more humane?

Yikes Cindy! Really? That's cold. Ever see the "Twilight Zone" ep..."To
Serve Man?" Hey...they're just humans. Do you think animals don't feel
pain, get scared, want to stay alive?

I have 2 questions for you about this. I'm just trying to understand
your thinking.

1) What harm do they do to your property? I lived in a house for many
years on about one acre of land. I had o'possoms living there (at least
one anyway). Never caused a problem and I rarely saw it.

2) Since you catch them in animal friendly traps, why not just take a
drive and relocate them into a remote area? That at least gives them a
chance to keep on living.

Also, if you are bound and determined to kill them, you should at least
eat them. They might taste good???

A gun shot to the head is a humane way to kill. Drowning is a horrible
way to do it. Ever hear of waterboarding torture which the whole world
condemns as evil?
