Ok well Happy St Paddy’s Day from me and my angry predator

When drowning is the only option apart from beating it with a spade.... it was the nicest way

That’s definitely the way every creature wants to die.
Being forcefully drowned or have their head beaten in with a shovel.

Animals don't want to die, but its our job to take care of the animals that depend on us. The ferrets are invasive anyways, they are doing a favor for the environment.

Actually, I don't think that they would. The meat would be tougher.
When culling an animal, it is best to do it quickly and swiftly, without giving the creature much time to struggle. If it dies all tense and full of acid, then the meat will be tougher and harder to chew.
I believe so, anyway.

True story.

Just to clear, there are times we need to get rid of a predator. Turning it loose somewhere else so it can be someone else's problem is not fair and seldom legal. Not everyone has access to your preferred method of dispatch. You have the right to defend your livestock. If you choose not to, don't criticize someone who does. Some don't seem to care about the horrible death these chickens had, or the others that could have had the same fate had these ferrets been allowed to continue what they were doing. If you don't like how others handle predation, scroll on by.

Excuse me sir, but I must toss rations to the hordes or be eaten alive. I’ll just see myself out now

pretty sure that is correct, i know hunting we want a one shot kill and if the animal runs we leave it for a while to not stress it out, makes better meat non-stressed everyone says.

i feel sorry to the OP dealing with the loss of there birds and then having to deal with all the people saying they did the wrong thing/being cruel.

lets all just be civil
