Is that the bucket pool and sunflower seed lesson?
That’s a mean one because the animal struggles to exhaustion before drowning. Drowning is quick, but being left in water with no rest and no escape is a toughy. Maybe it beats being eaten alive by a raccoon, but it’s slower. Not sure...
Can’t you just use a trap that kills them outright?
BTW, if you’re annoyed enough with them to eliminate them, I have plenty of sympathy for you about all the damage they’ve done to your environs.
LOL. You understand where those who foolishly feed bears do not. Compassion and common sense are separate things that have to be discerned. I love animals probably more than our fellow humans yet recognize we can’t put them above ourselves like PETA does. I’m with Roy where he said don’t kill the tiger but that didn’t mean tigers aren’t dangerous.
Raccoons are dangerous having such a high rate of rabies and are proliferous. Fire at will and good luck hitting the fast SOBs. Shotgun when it’s where you don’t mind things being destroyed behind.
