What is the difference in letting a dog kill and animal and letting a dog kill a dog.
I waited until it got dark & buried the corpse out behind the garage.
Haven’t been Coon hinting lately, but it was a common thing back in the day to climb the tree the Coon was tree’d in and throw it dow to the dogs. Part of their training.
Today’s people have been pussified to a crazed extent.
Back years ago when I was a child it was a common thing to take a litter of cats, put them in a bag and drown them, there was no government agency to properly euthanise them and it was better than letting them run loose as feral cats.
Today you would be arrested and get more time than if you drowned a human.
I know the flame is coming, but is it really better to have ASPCA euthanise them than to put them in that sack?
And don’t think for a minute that ASPCA doesn’t euthanise strays.

There nothing granting it, either, which means it is the state’s decision. A state deer license isn’t a federal issue.

That is what he did. I can’t imagine a jury convicting, but who knows.
This is the answer to all those that say ‘let the govt look, I have nothing to hide.’
You always have something to hide, and if not the govt will pass a law so you do. Or they will interpret old laws in new and violating ways, or bankrupt you with regulations, or in court, or...

Duh.
I guess my dogs are smarter than the average dog. They don’t let on when a critter gets in the back yard.
When I let them in they’re all slobbered up around the face and have a big smile. That tells me there’s something dead in the back yard.
Good ol’ coon dog.
PETA says they are cruel to raccoons, and NAACP says they are racist.
And soon Obama will be saying that they are mean to Muslims.
Clearly the law needs to be changed to permit dogs to clear vermin from dwellings. Or would they rather have people trying to shoot these?
Every once in awhile I would hear this squealing, then all six animals would come busting through the door, one carrying a rat. They would toss the rat in the tub, then all six would jump in and bat the poor creature back and forth. At times it would take over 15 minutes before they finally killed it. This was their rat soccer game. There were also several other interesting experiences living out there with those six furry friends.
I love animals....
but I will kill animals when killing them is necessary to protect life and property.
my biggest concern would be that my dog be checked for rabies as that is a big concern in NY State.
If it was me, and I had gotten to a destructive raccoon first, I would have put a cb cap into it then bagged it and thrown it into a dumpster....or buried it.
in areas were rats and vermin are protected by law somehow...folks need to practice the Three S’s

LOL, my brothers and I did the same thing. We'd drive around the countryside until we came across a raccoon. Then with flashlights and baseball bats, we'd chase them down and bash em. We'd get $35 to $40 per coon, not bad money for the early 70s.
Rabbits are vermin in our neighborhood. Squirrels are only slightly less obnoxious. I'm limited to growing tomatoes, daffodils and a few other things the damn rabbits won't bother.
One of our neighbors has a cat who has an open invitation to come into our yard to dispose of thse vermin. I even plant catnip (anpother thing rabbits won't touch) so the nice kitty can get a reward. Every now and then, he leaves a dead rabbit by my driveway as a thank you gift. We're on pretty good terms. The big kitty is shy, but he knows I appreciate him and will give me a leg rub and accept a pat on the head if I stand still and let him come to me.
I believe our Eastern Seaboard former British colonial territories have a quaint law that says the game on any particular piece of land belongs to the landowner, but their fishing laws are much more like Midwestern game control laws.
Then there the states without water, or many game animals, and I suspect they are owned by Bureau of Land Management!
