Welcome to Thunderdome

Why?

Because guns aren't allowed, so it was the most humane way to dispose of them.

Um...I'm pro-gun, but you couldn't drive them somewhere and release them? Also, did you have to make your class watch?

If he released them, they'd go back to eating their chickens.

Also, death happens.

Not if he released them elsewhere, which was what I was saying.

My dad catches critters all the time and drives them miles away to drop them off.

Great, more NIMBY

1. Why would you do this in front of the class?
2. Why would you not call animal control?

btw: Ag classes (at least in my experience) routinely take trips to the slaughterhouse, so.. maybe it was like that. I dunno.

Because we want people to learn how to solve their own problems?

I'm of two minds about it.

They're pests.

But I really think that this is an example they should use their heads, drop the "zero tolerance" idiocy, and use a gun. Drowning is not as "painless and non-traumatic" as a shotgun shell instantly ripping the brain apart.

Maybe the lesson is, "The bureaucracy is fucking idiotic, now watch this needless suffering."

Also a reasonable lesson.

You mean a nature person. He doesn't drop them in a fucking neighborhood. He takes critters to his golf course or a nearby forest. He's also a hunter. So he kills, but he knows when it isn't necessary.

Although, I'm very much on board with your plan. I know a lot of pests I'd like to exterminate.
