I think humane dispatch is the best option for predator issues. Personally I live in an area that gunshots and hunting are common. So no problem when unwanted hungry pests drop in. If I had to be concerned about noise or bullet travel I'd probably go with a trap and dispatch method. Even though it's an unwanted predator I still believe it should have a quick and clean end.

Same here.
