Until you are put into a position where you need to decide wether to shoot one of God's beautiful creations I don't feel that you have the right to call someone the names that I have read here.
This animal was not stalked. To be honest the kids were in the backyard and this animal sat on the hay bails watching every move they made. All that we had to do was walk over to it and fire. The animal was no longer afraid of humans.
Regarding the chickens. We had taken the steps to build them a more secure area. Once a predator gets a taste it doesn't matter how secure an area you build.
I also do not believe in killing for sport. But, what was done in this situation was a necessary evil. I am an educated person and not some inbreed. I do save up for my childrens education. Before you start slamming someone for where they live you need to sit back and examin your own life. We all live in glass houses.
God did create all creatures great and small. So where do some of you get off thinking that you are holier than thou. It really hurts to know that there are people out there who can be so insecure with themselves that they have to slam others.
God bless you all.
Cannot forget why it was killed...... such a vivid description... by the "this animal sat on the hay bails watching every move they made."
I'd of repeatedly shot the damn thing...cause I am sure it didn't want to join the kids in a game of tag
