@IllinoisOutdoorsman Please read ALL my comment under this video, beacuse I have argued this stuff with an annother guy, so please, don't waste your time trying to convince me AGAIN, with the same thing.

@Shiftyhun If you have 0 years of experience with leghold traps, then please don't comment as you have no idea what you are talking about. It's called "conservation", if that is even a word in your country, and it must be done. I nor my dad who has trapped for 40 years of his life has ever experienced a " badly dammaged" animal. We have a 24 hour check law in my state to ensure that the animal doesn't suffer or chew out. Dispatch is the correct term for putting an animal down. Not "executing".

@TheOutdoorsman07 Ok, you got me xD As there are no coyotes here, I can't even imagine what they does underwater, but I still think the bullet is more humane :)

[TheOutdoorsman07]

@Shiftyhun i have many times. i dont count on the government to tell the truth, but with coyotes this method works well. they immediately breathe in, and it only takes about 10-15 seconds.

[Shiftyhun]

@TheOutdoorsman07 If you think drowning is humane, then try watch the animal, I bet you will remember that for your whole life. I never said that, the gowerment can say what is ethycal and what is not, they can bring laws, but they are mostly stupid (all around the world, not just in the USA). So I don't belive them and neither should you! If you thik it is ethical to drown animals, beacuse the gowerment said so, then you shold go to a psychologist, and get an identity. :)

[TheOutdoorsman07]

@Shiftyhun yeah our laws arent as strict as yours. our state encourages drowning to humanely kill animals.

[Shiftyhun]

@TheOutdoorsman07 Then it is your problem, and your license, you know that what it takes if they catches ya (I mean the police of course). I dunno how it is going there in the USA, but in Europa, it means 3 years in a 3x6 cage (prison). And it is also very expensive, to throw the cagetraps into the lake. :)
