Default Relocating a Woodchuck?

hello

i just wondered if i could have a young woodchuck / groundhog if your
going to kill it or relocate it. relocating an animal is quite
stressful and in the long run, domesticating it would be better.

A customer had one for a pet. It learned to open the refrigerator and
make a mess. When anyone cam in, it hid in the pantry.
It got out one day and a german shepherd got after it. It ran up a small
apple tree. When the dog's owner came to get his dog it ran up his legs
into his arms. The guy didn't know what was happening and slung the
critter to the ground. The dog got him. A lot of people got a kick out
of the not so little bugger.
It takes a lot of cleaning up and tolerance to keep something like
thatas a pet.
