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

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

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.

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

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.

Still how are you going to stop it without getting too close to it?

Why would he run after a drugged pissed off skunk? If he was being inhumane he would have just thrown the cage into the pool.

Bestiality isn't a legal method. Sorry.

That is what i've been trying to get across to you all, 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

His method was completely legal. What's your point?

How do you know? The fact is he did it for his enjoyment. If he was worried about getting sprayed he wouldn't have been out there feeding it. If he felt it was a threat he wouldn't have been playing with it and wouldn't have let it go.

How is feeding a skunk sleeping pills not legal? He wasn't playing with it and again he could have let it go to see if it was sedated or not.

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.

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?

A skunk is not a ferocious T-Rex either. Skunks aren't predatory. Their first defense (yes, defense. They are not offensive creatures) is their spray. Who the fvck is going to be dumb enough to go after the skunk again after being sprayed? Have you ever been near someone who's been sprayed the smell is almost debilitating. It's the most rancid thing I've ever smelled. If you're dumb enough to get sprayed and go back in closer for more, you deserve to be bitten.

If you're going to set it free, why drug it? And if you intended to drug it so that it wouldn't cause a problem while you had it caged, why set it free while still in your yard? Truth is, the OP didn't intend to set it free at all. He intended to kill it and it's very obvious. Fine, kill it. But don't play with it. Don't drug it, let it out, and watch it drown. Just fvcking get it over with.

I killed a rat by my house by decapitating its head with a shovel. One swift whack, and the rat was out of its misery. HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE SKUNK? We grow big rats in Chicago - almost the size of the skunk. If it was bigger, and I needed to trap it, I would have done the same. Would you call AC on me? Any sane person would not.

Skunks usually wont spray in a confined space, he drugged it so the skunk wouldnt go after him later. If he was really being inhumane he would have thrown the cage into the pool.

:laugh:

Right. Because the entire medicine cabinet that he fed to it may not have actually been strong enough to make it groggy. How that thing even walked out of the cage, I don't know. Maybe he let it go too soon for the drugs to take effect?

Besides, HBalzer's right. The OP wouldn't have messed with it unless his intentions were less than admirable.

Nik. You have proven how ignorant you are in this thread. The spray is offensive, you would know that if you knew anything about skunks. Nobody wants to get sprayed, even if he had killed the shunk in cold blood as you argue, who the FVCK CARES?? I might have too if I was so inclined.

You sound like a combination between a bitter old man with nothing in his life, and a fanatical PETA activist all rolled into one. I can't believe you've posted this many times arguing over something that is so rediculous.

It's different because you didn't toy with it, you just got the job done.

With the way he hates other human beings, it's doubtful that he'd take compassion with a damn skunk.

The sleeping pills where not prescribed for the skunk and giving medication not prescribed to someone is illegal. Ridicules right! Well so was your comment about him not playing with the skunk or letting it go to see if it was sedated. If he felt the skunk was a threat he would have made sure it was dead and disposed of it properly.

He had no means to kill it other than inhumane methods. Instead he gave it a lot of sleeping pills and let it go. I dont see how you can view this as ' Playing with it" Drugging an animal is the most humane thing you can do to kill it. The skunk didnt die from the pills right away so he let it free. Then the thing passed out in his pool. It not like he was tourturing the animal. if he was i'd be on your side.

Have you ever been near a rabid animal? Their actions don't always follow "normal patterns". And no you can't tell by looking. They'll be fine one minute and nuts the next. One of the weirder things I've ever seen was a squirrel go absolutely "ape sh!t" out of the blue in the quad with students around. It was sitting there one minute, ran up to someone getting out of a car, jumped in, bit them, then ran around terrorizing LOTS of people.

i really wanna know what bottom feeding scum sucker called the cops on him, because seriously MIND YOUR OWN FVCKING BUSNIESS!!!!!!, skunks like squirrels are pests, i have put out rat poison and killed dozens of both, im sure that?s not pleasant, i have shot them also while they were in a cage and couldn?t get away, killed raccoons also,


ooooo nooooeeesss im such a bad person, if you happen to not live in the city you have to deal with these things, and killing them is how you deal with it

hell one poster here admitted to living on a farm and to help curb the wild cat issue they have they put the kittens in a sack with some rocks and throw it into a lake or whatever, no one called the cops on him now did they

i don't see where anybody in this thread has done that.

it's one thing when someone goes around looking for animals to kill. it's another when someone finds an animal that could be dangerous in their backyard and does something about that particular issue.

sure, if someone was boasting about killing animals, THAT is a reportable offense. this was just the OP sharing his experience because i can see that some may find humor in it (which, if you read the thread, they did). i'm sure the OP edited out his post because he realized later from the dissent that it was not advisable to have proceeded this way, but the damage is done. obviously, he's not proud of it anymore. i don't think he's going to do it again.
