How can I kill a rat legally?

[SmoochyTX]

Hypothetically, how can I do it without being charged with animal cruelty?

The parody is weak in this one. Can I lock this thread without being charged with thread cruelty? I prefer to think of it as thread euthanasia. -DrPizza

I would say eat it but I won't want to eat you after you've eaten a rat...

maybe I'll just snack on some Chinese until this craving passes....

 

[Epic Fail]

I don't know about raw.

Actually an interesting question. Mousetraps are cool, cat traps are not? I guess it depends on the size/cuteness of the animal.

 

[moshquerade]

is it a dirty rat?

Buy a cat

As in, a snitch? Like, you'd kill a snitch, you're not saying you have, you're not saying you haven't?

You can kill rats in all manner of horrible ways without being charged with animal cruelty. They're considered pests.

Poison 'em, squish 'em, chop 'em, run 'em over, unleash an enormous monster of fangs and claws with reflexes of lightning to hunt them down and exterminate them, flood their dwellings with choking gases to suffocate them where they stand...

Get a 55 gallon barrel.

Stuff the snitch in the bottom.

Pour quick-set concrete over the top, covering the snitch completely. Let it set, then dump it in the ocean.

Winner! They can't charge a cat with a crime of animal cruelty. :thumbsup:

But seriously, why not just kill it with a bat and toss it away in the trash? It's not like there's anyone out there secretly monitoring people going around killing rats. It's a friggin rat. Just kill it.

Hmmmmm. Anything with fireworks?

There are no laws regarding rats. Hence the large rat traps at the store. Just fucking kill it already. Gun, knife, rat trap, poison, thermonuclear device,...take your pick. It's a fuckin rat, stop being a pussy.

Depends - I know a farmer who was sued after his plow disrupted a particular species of field mouse which was endangered or protected or something. Bunch of bullshit if you ask me.

Well, I'm talking about a rat and not a field mouse.

Just kill it, it is only a rat. I kill hundreds at a time in the summer when I go sage rat/ground squirrel/prairie dog shooting (they are all rats as far as I am concerned).

How can I kill kittens legally?

 

[OUCaptain]

Dude...we can kill people in texas if they threaten us. Just say the rat tried to kill you if you're that worried about it. But really..just take it out. Rats are considered pests just the same as mice.

This issue requires far less than an ATOT opinion.

Isn't Smoochy a woman though? We need more of those kind around so I vote no ban.
