The ethical solution would be to not trap at all, rather than trap and relocate. Also, then have total protection for all of your animals, and family members, so there's no problem with wildlife. Mary
We use a 22g, easy to do when it's in the live trap, because usually they will come right at you for that head shot. Don't handle it in any way, or release it. I agree about drowning or poison! Never assume that it's not rabid because it 'acts okay'! Mary
