The raccoons killing our baby ducks is inhumane. Some people have reasons they cannot get a gun at this time so they do what they can to get rid of these predators.

No. They are just making a living. It's people who need to live their lives with moral courage. I don't know if raccoons have souls. If they do ( and they might) they have raccoon souls. We are gifted with the ability to act with r respect and mercy. We should never celebrate the death of any living thing.
 
Oh boy! - One of these days!

Why don’t you get a gun and shoot the raccoons since you video tape them all the time?
Drowning is pretty piss poor imo. Shooting or a hard hit on the head with a heavy pipe, bat etc.. will put them down quickly.
Seems to me people drown animals because they can’t actually kill them themselves.

As @Texag87 has already answered for me: I would love to have a firearm, i am legally allowed to own one, but being "only" a permanent resident the amount of paperwork is too much for gun-stores - i tried three., so a shot on short distance in the head is unfortunately not an option. I would do that if i only could.
Weather drowning or hitting the head is more (in)humane, i cannot decide, but at the moment i only have a cage-trap from which i would have to release the 'coon in order to whack its head and the risk of not hitting it hard enough and then having an injured animal on the run is not an option for me.

The Racoons do only what nature dictates them to do, but we have accepted a responsibility to protect our birds against predators, so we have to do what we must do…

I will answer your question for him. He drowns them because of stupidity and lazyness but not on his part. He is a resident ( in other words Legal ) alien. Although he is able to under the law, no one will let him purchase a gun because either they are stupid or too lazy to look up federal and state laws.

Use a dp trap and smack em on the head with a pipe. Simple. Reset trap in 3 seconds without transporting a heavy raccoon in a cage to water. Dp traps work far better than a cage and are cheaper.

I thought about that too, here are my two problems with that:
  1. There are several videos in the internet where raccoons have bitten or ripped off their own hand in order to escape a hand-trap. Again you have a badly wounded animal on the run.
  2. Before something bad happens to a raccoon i caught, i check if it is a lactating female. I will not kill any mother raccoon and sentence her little ones to death by starvation [period] Should i capture a lactating racoon, she will be released on my property (legal here) after i scared the sh*t out of her, in hope she will tell her babies not to visit that crazy, evil hillbilly…
I do not enjoy killing any animal (Ok, ticks and mosquitoes i do!) but i have to protect my duckies, it is my responsibility and so i do this as quickly as i can with the measures i have available.
