first... Glenn is a friend of mine and was only making a joke.

second, you clearly haven't read the whole thread before posting, because your last question was already answered, but i'll repeat it again:

NO, there is no agency which will come out to where i live and do anything at all about the situation... our government does NOT consider it an animal control issue, they consider it a rodent infestation issue. end of story.

get over yourself.... do you think an government agency or zoo would come to help you with a rat or mouse problem? well maybe they do that in Germany, but NOT here in the US... they are considered rodents, and are the responsibility of the home-owner to deal with... and any company that was hired would also destroy Armadillos, they would not "release them into the wild" or some shit... jesus tap-dancin' christ.

Haha yup. My Corgis are tough little bitches, but if that damn possum actually attacked one, they would be fucked! My dad saw them squaring off outside. :lol:

Man that sounds hilarious...you think Rufus would confront one, or is he too much of a puss?

Haha, I freakin' love Corgis, they can be pretty feisty - and it was actually our previous golden, Leia (yes after Princess Leia, we got her when I was like 7 :lol: ), who had a lot more spunk to her (Rufus is indeed a complete puss :D), but the thing was she was hardly in a position to do much of anything, doing the doggie paddle out in the middle of the lake with only her head and back showing out of the water; in comparison, the swan was looming over her and hissing like crazy, and she just kept following it inquisitively before finally coming back, quite a sight to see :D

Yeah but you can put humane traps in your back garden and take them down the road and release them. Sounds safer than running around your back yard with a loaded gun in darkness then having a corpse rotting in your nearby location.

"proudly" is your characterization of it... comes from your mind, not anything i did.

So it can come back and dig more holes in his yard, and provide ample opportunity to endanger his family (for his reasons stated above), while possibly carrying LEPROSY?? C'mon now dude.

Lighten up, guys. Don't blow this out of proportion. I can totally understand where James is coming from.


Myself, I had a Jack Russel named "Vader" for yard-defense. The little bastard regularly killed birds, squirrels, & rabbits. Utterly fearless too.... he tried to take on a badger one day, but I had to put a stop to it before it got out of control.

One day, we had the entire family over for a barbecue. He trots up to my wife & drops a rabbit at her feet (a very clean broken-neck kill, I might add), and I swear he was thinking, "Hey, throw this on the grill for me, will ya?"

as i've already mentioned, trapping them is dangerous and NOT recommended.

second, even if you do, they just come back, or go on to infest someone else's property.. that's not being a good neighbor, and can in fact get me arrested.

third, it was my front yard (garden), and well lit with a very large and bright light that i put up on a 12 foot post... like a standard street light.

fourth, i'm very proficient with firearms, i have been shooting since i was a small child ( age 10 or 11), and held an held Expert Marksman rating when i was a teenager.

fifth, there's ALWAYS something dead and rotting near my house. i did mention i live in the countryside, yes? buzzards = nature's corpse disposal.

anyway i'm sure i mentioned he is entombed several feet in the ground.

finally, most of this was already mentioned.

Cute dog Glenn. We were looking into a Jack Russell, but apparently they can jump super high and it might have cleared our fence!

OH NO!!!! HOLES!!! DANGER!!! LEPROSY!!! FAMILY IN DANGER!!!
:p

I get them all the time, and this is not the case. It's an armadillo, not a friken werewolf.

Shooting an armadillo IMO is overkill. Shooting animals that are going about their day via natural instinct is pretty fucked up. It's not like they know what they are doing. If you live in the country, and animals can cause you problems, then you are not ready for the country. They dig holes? Man up, you are in the country.

Justifying killing animals in the name of protecting your property is BS.

I can understand hunting 100%, providing the kill is eaten. But the chest beating "defend land/family" is wearing a little thin with me.

Good luck with the rotting armadillo though. You know they take over a year to decompose because of their shells yeah? And that brings maggots and disease?

And I admit it, I love animals. And not just the cute ones. I'm not an activist, and I eat meat, I just can't get my head around why people would injure/kill animals and give themselves an excuse to do so. Just to make their own life slightly easier.
 
To be honest, it's no different from catching mice and rats. Just bigger. I am not for harming animals if it isn't needed but armadillo's are pests.
