Exactly.

As some are fond of repeating, the OP is *not* a vet. So how would he know whether it's dead?

Again, selective reading does you in, either that or a total brainbusting lack of reading comprehension. He gave it the pills. IT WALKED OUT OF THE CAGE. He did not drag it/force it out of the cage. It walked into the pool. IT DID NOT DROWN. He scooped it out of the pool. IT WALKED AWAY ON ITS OWN. Am i missing something? Where does it say that he abused it? Did he stick an m80 up its ass? No. Did he beat it? No. It walked away to die in its sleep. No different from AC coming to give it a shot of phenobabarbitol in its arm, which would have made it DIE IN ITS SLEEP.

If it walked away, the drugs didn't kill it. They may have possibly worn off. How do you know it's dead?

HEY I GOT A GREAT IDEA

Lets go trapping animals, drugging them, releasing them, watching them disoriented and half-dead, then letting them go? Oh wait, that's being cruel and completely unnecessary.

Exactly, and like I said the line was crossed when he abused the skunk for his pleasure. If he felt it was a threat he wouldn?t have let it go. You all saying he can use any means necessary to get rid of the skunk is silly. Then some sick farmer would rape the goat every night and say he was harassing it to get it to leave.

That's a different story with different circumstances and there's video to prove it.

You're making assumptions about the OP's motives, as are those on the other side of the argument. If he was so innocent about it, he wouldn't have done things like post about it on AT, take pics and post those, get pissed about being reported, and edit his posts to cover his tracks.

It seems you're making assumptions about the OPs motives.

You honestly wouldnt feel pissed if someone wasted yours and some law enforcement investigators time?


He posted the story on here, more than likely someone did the good "PICS" bit, he released it and figured oh well it drowned good as time as any to take a pic, then it was gone.

I think you're trying to read too much into his actions and you try so hard to believe he lifted the cage over the pool and just dumped the damn thing into it.

wow clicked once and double posted, awesome bug!

Bestiality isn't a legal method. Sorry.

Yeah, he didn't drug it. But my point is, once you let it go, you can't control its actions.

EARTH TO NIK, COME IN NIK. You too are making assumptions about his motives.

I would be pissed because I did nothing wrong. The only difference is, I would not post about it here because of pantywaists like you.

NO SH|T. THAT'S WHY I POSTED THE WHOLE BOLDED PART!

how exactly did he abuse the animal? He could have opened the cage to see if it was sedated or not.

Who would'nt get pissed about being reported? Especially for somthing so frivolous as this. and as for his motives the fact that he released the skunk at all shows that he wasnt trying to kill it. If his motives were to kill the skun he would have just done it while the skunk was contained.

If we ever find out who called the cops(assuming that isnt shens) they should get a ban.

You know what, I think I'm going to call the police on Nebor. He trapped a squirrel and it released it in a park. It ran into the street and got run over. HOW COULD HE LET THAT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS CRUEL AND UNNECESSARY!

That is what i've been trying to get across to you all (I guess I had to use something that you can relate to), there are methods that aren't legal. I asked for the law on that around pg 4 and someone gave me the definition of take

Nik, please shut the fvck up. We get so tired of your retarded, hollier then though posts.

Right. OH HEY. In that case, let's let an animal out of its cage while holding it over A MOLTEN VOLCANO. Hey, it's not our fault that the animal couldn't fly, right? We're not responsible for the animal's actions. :roll:

If you tell me he had no clue that a drugged skunk could possibly wander from the cage to the pool, I wouldn't believe it. What, was the pool in the backyard or something? Did the OP not realize that the pool was so close? Did the drugs slow the skunk down from lightspeed to only mach4 so it was impossible to catch as it ROCKETED out of the cage and into the pool? Of course not. You trap an animal. You drug it. You release said drugged animal. You watch it fall into the pool and it's in there long enough to drown.

Tell me that's not intentional. I won't believe you, but hey.

Where did I scold Viper GTS for doing so?

 

[blckgrffn]

LOL, this is so freaking stupid! You know what skunks are? Rodents? You know what you do/can do to rodents on your property? Kill them in pretty much anyway you see fit.

Rabid animals are the ones that approach human habitation. Odds are, having it by your home means it is indeed rabid. This is immaterial though to the main point.

Being a "country boy" myself, first I would have had to deal with the dog having been sprayed and have him potentially put down due to rabies infection. Second, I would have shot the skunk.

Now, if I had accidently trapped the skunk, I would have been in the same predicament as the OP. One, calling animal control is a huge waste of money when they are going to kill it anyway. Two, there has got to be something better than trying to shoot an animal in a cage. As ViperGTS pointed out, there are many *not* appropriate ways to deal with it. I think drugging was actually pretty damn effective. I would have used more and tried to put it out that way. But I would probably have gotten impatient and, if I had thought about it, opened the cage to let it come out so I could shoot it. Inhumane? Hardly? Hell, it is a skunk. IMHO, it could have stumbled out and he could have stomped on its head for all I care. Kicking it into the pool would have been a choice, but who wants a dead rodent in the pool? That is why I would have been fishing it out, not out of any concern for its safety. The more I think about it, the more I think that he she have killed it right there, but physically killing it somehow.

Regardless, this is much ado about nothing. It is sad so many people spent so much time debating that. Sadder, I read it all.

How is he going to stop a drugged skunk that may have rabies and still avoid getting sprayed?

We drug animals all the time, but they aren't fluffy like skunks, are they?

Nik, his mistake was not giving the animal enough to kill it.

Uh... go back and read the list of drugs he gave the skunk and the quantities. That skunk couldn't possibly have been moving very fast or very coherent to know what was going on. It's very likely that the skunk didn't even know he was in danger.

This is a skunk not a cute little bunny that means no harm. If he went around to harassed bunnies because he didnt like them on his property i think that would be crossing the line. He trapped a pest on his property. He correctly realized it was a danger because it could have sprayed or bitten. But this gy was HUMANE so he decided to just drug it and set it free. It may have not been a legal act, but it was humane. Whats the problem with this?
