For one thing, raccoons ALSO eat crops
Tell me you can't even read without telling me, before you profusely Google shit for your confirmation bias.
Coons carry diseases, fine. He's also killing skunks which are a net positive for the environment. They eat pests such as rats, mice and various critters that are bad for crops. They won't bother anyone and could care less about getting into a chicken coop because they're a lot dumber. Their eyesight also sucks.
What part of the word "skunk" don't you understand?
I don't give a shit about how animals are classified. Cats in Australia kill the majority of native exotic birds yet their irresponsible owners aren't classified as vermin and it's okay to kill stray cats instead of their dipshit owners.
Didn't I say it's fine to just shoot them already, my problem is taking photos and then gloating about it afterwards? So what's your issue then? Maybe learn how to read before being such a smug annoying cunt.
all this debating over whether or not killing raccoons is fine is dumb and missing the point that dickhead balldo claims to have shut himself in a room with 2 of them so he could kill them with a hammer.
regardless if its wrong or right to eliminate pests its down right sadistic to brag about killing them with a hammer.
It's just one guy escaping Reddit from a trapdoor armed with google who keeps bitching about it while totally missing the point.
Shooting them is fine, especially if they're threatening livestock.
Taking a photo and then shooting them, and then gloating about it on Facebook afterwards will rightfully get you crucified.
There was this dumb woman who killed and ate a couple rabbits, these pests were eating her crops. She took a photo of the animal being skinned and gloated about it. What she did was rightful but people had an issue with the imagery and her needless gloating. She's far better than Balldo too, she ate the two rabbits instead of double bagging them.
drowning is used because it is easy, free, reliable, and clean
with shooting you can miss, you can hit a bad shot, it can make a bloody mess, and ammo isn't free (also you might run into legal issues depending on where you live)
He drowned two skunks. He shot many racoons and bashed a couple to death in a cabin with a hammer when he could have just let them out or left the cabin to fetch his firearm.
