It was more like a well placed jab with a piece of conduit hammered flat on the end to the base of the skull to sever the spine. The hammered conduit fit through the opening of the trap. Then I dumped it right out of the trap into the garbage and through a bag over it. Done...
I never really thought about there being a lack of penalty described in the local ordinance. Maybe I should get pigmy goats after all...
No permit for any of them! They’re not native to NA, so they’re not included in the same laws.
It's a shame goats are not on the companion animal list. Only dogs and miniature horses... Otherwise all four of us here would have companion goats.
I take that back... goats are not "service animals", they might qualify as emotional support animals... Now I need to find a quacky therapist to get a prescription for an emotional support animal and see if emotional support animals can circumvent township ordinance... Let the conniving begin!It's a shame goats are not on the companion animal list. Only dogs and miniature horses... Otherwise all four of us here would have companion goats.
Drop it off. My neighbors are used to gunshot from my yard......Got that opposum! And the sucker ate a whole duck leg with foot still attached that I used as bait.

I called Will County Animal Control. They will not take it. They said to call local non- emergency police number. Local police said it's out of their bounds and to contact a private animal control outfit. They also said I should get a free permit from the IL Department of Wildlife (I believe that was it) if I wanted to trapping wildlife on my property (I didn't disclose that it's already trapped).
I tried to choose life over death, but it's apparently very difficult to relocate an animal.
From now on, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and do what needs to be done.
When I was about 14yo We had a momma raccoon bash the metal sophet vent to give birth in our attic. I was awakened by my dad shooting at this thing in the kitchen which was directly above my bedroom.
