An air pistol is sufficient for dispatching them in traps. Hm, I'm not sure that this would necessarily be quick, or safe. They tend to dash about in the cage (*understatement*), so an instantly fatal shot is very difficult, which might lead to some suffering - there's the question of ricochets as well. Perhaps this out to go in a reference document, like the c4t5 one. Depends how good a shot you are, and the distance you are shooting from. We don't bother to trap squirrels, but shoot them in the plantations. Oooh, painful. A head shot is quicker. So, how do you get the thing to stay still long enough to enable you to shoot it? -- All science is either physics or stamp collecting. -- E. Rutherford |
