Make sure you get a hunting license at Town Hall before you shoot any of those backyard visitors.
  

Oh no. I would never do that!

Quoted from GrahamBonnet

Oh no. I would never do that!

Never shoot them or never get the license ?

...never shoot without a license, out of season or unjustified.

Personally, I would like to shoot all the deer, rabbits, and squirrels that wreak havoc on my lawn and
garden -- but there is a law against firing a weapon so close to neighboring houses.   Maybe, I should get
an ATV and race around my yard .. and run over them.

Funny, I just shot a snake in my garage tonight.  Nobody breathing down my back.

Oh that's right, I'm home again - none of those archaic rules

Is stabbing allowed?

I prefer a tomahawk, but a knife works too.

Quoted from GrahamBonnet

One poor skunk turned up dead on my front porch in front of my door! He must of had a heart attack there! Imagine my surprise finding him there at 7:30 in the morn?  

The skunk ran and ran to get to your house to apologize for voting the wrong people
for town board.  He was taken out by the town board supervisor before he could talk.

    A fox attacked a Schoharie County woman Tuesday, sending her to the hospital along with the man who came to her rescue and killed the fox, according to the Schoharie County Sheriff’s Department. It had not been reported late Wednesday whether the fox was rabid.
    The woman told authorities she was cleaning out a camper on Saddlemire Hill Road around 4:30 p.m. when the fox attacked her legs from behind. Schoharie County Sheriff Tony Desmond said the fox continued to attack the woman and bit down on her arm as she struggled to get free, before the passerby stopped to help her.
    After a struggle, the passerby was able to kill the fox, Desmond said. The woman suffered puncture wounds on her legs and a large laceration on her left arm — the fox was latched onto her when the man arrived to help. ..................>>>>.....................>>>>....................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01200&AppName=1

  IT'S EITHER THEM OR US!!           Australian camels could be shot to curb methane

An Australian plan would approve the killing of feral camels to help halt climate change.
CANBERRA, Australia — Kill a camel, earn cash for cutting greenhouse gases: That offer may be coming soon in Australia, where vast numbers of the nonnative, methane-belching animals have been trampling the Outback for more than a century.

The government has proposed that killing camels be officially registered as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Australia has the world's largest population of wild camels _ an estimated 1.2 million _ and considers them to be a growing environmental problem.

The proposal, released for public comment this week, would allow sharpshooters to earn so-called carbon credits for slaughtering camels. Industrial polluters around the world could buy the credits to offset their own carbon emissions.

Each camel belches an estimated 100 pounds (45 kilograms) of methane a year, which is equivalent to a metric ton (1.1 U.S. ton) of carbon dioxide in its impact on global warming. That's roughly one-sixth the amount of CO2 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says an average car produces annually.

A bill to create a carbon credit regime will go to a vote in the House of Representatives on Wednesday and is expected to become law within weeks.

A government registry will be set up to determine what actions will qualify for carbon credits, and bureaucrats are expected to decide by the end of the year whether killing camels will be among them.

Mark Dreyfus, the government's parliamentary secretary for climate change, said he hopes the proposal wipes out camels from the Australian wild.

"Potentially it has tremendous merit, because feral camels are a dreadful menace across the whole of arid Australia," Dreyfus told The Associated Press on Thursday.

First introduced in the 1840s to help explorers and pioneers travel through Australia's arid interior, camels now cover vast tracts of the continent's parched and sparsely populated center and west.
