Couldn’t resist posting this here: "Lethal Techniques&q

“Lethal techniques
Just as there is no magic pill solution to wildlife conflicts, there is no one killing technique that will work best for all species or in all situations. Some methods are not appropriate for young animals or diving or burrowing animals. Some work better with birds, or reptiles, or mammals. Some require additional permits, or more than an average level of skill, experience, or strength. They may be effective for some NWCOs and not others. And if rabies is an issue, you must select your method carefully.

Sometimes, protecting people will be your highest priority. You may need to kill an animal as quickly as possible. Even in such cases, do the best you can to provide the most humane death possible under the circumstances. Most people agree that a “humane death” is one that is as painless as possible. The ideal is to be quick. Either kill the animal quickly, or cause rapid unconsciousness, then rapid death.”

My favorite is “sometimes, protecting people will be your highest priority” as opposed to other times when you just want to have fun doing in pest species. My wife doesn’t get the whole “why do you like hunting the racoon down anyway” deal. Somehow I have to find a way to get “cause they are fun to shoot” past the cute factor.

Anyway thought the TAG crowd would enjoy that. Any guesses where I got it?
