Sorry you assumed that. No, I wouldn't harm it Just not happy I lost $500 in Mandarin ducks and chickens he killed....:( It has to eat and survive just doing its natural survival. looks like I'm going to put tin sheathing all around my duck pens now.
I relocated him and re set the trap most likely there are more since I am near a creek. I'll post more pictures if I catch more. Thanks for all the replies.
