(25,699 posts)1) I personally have no problem with killing feral animals. They're a menace to wildlife, and to actual pets, through disease and attacks. No, this was not a feral animal, but I'm betting the woman had no way of knowing this. It looks like Sticksville out there, and mistaking a farm cat for a feral, away from the farm, is not a hard mistake to make.
2) an arrow through the head is certain to have killed the thing before any sort of pain could register. It was not a cruel death. Pretty certainly a cleaner kill than achieved by most deer hunters in the area, I'd imagine.
That said... why pose for a picture? What kind of yee-haw bullshit is that? if you're killing vermin, just kill vermin and dispose of their corpses. The Orkin man does not pose with a brace of dead rats.
I'm weirded out by that decision. but i'll hold my final judgement until I hear her reaction to finding out that this animal was someone's pet.
