I was told that here in TN you can shoot one if it is killing your livestock. Not that I could even if I wanted to (no gun) but was I given bad info?
Does anyone know where I can get a heat pad that doesn't shut itself off? I had some abandoned kittens that I was trying to keep alive and I looked everywhere for one so they could stay warm and I couldn't find one. The longest they would stay on is 2 hrs.
