They're dead. How can you be cruel to a dead animal?

Its one thing to shoot squirrels in during hunting season, another thing to shoot out of season and to mount them like that. I really wonder what he was thinking? As they rot and stink to high hell.
And of course the antis will get hold of that and proclaim it as the evil work of hunters. I've done work as pest control operator, but we didn't need to resort to that to get rid of em.
I wonder if he thought my sticking them on a fence like that it would keep the others away???

I don't know that he was a hunter, so we ought not be painted with the same brush.

I have heard of hanging coyotes on fences as warnings to other coyotes, as well as nailing crows or pigeons to roofs as warnings to those pests.

There was a case in PA years ago where a man was prosecuted for animal cruelty because he nailed a pigeon to his barn roof.

Out in the country on ranches, I've seen coyotes hung on fences (barbed wire fences). I've also seen fish heads hung on fences at fishing camps. In a residential area, as mentioned the stink would be a good reason not to do it. Some places do have squirrel season. Here in this part of Texas there is no season nor bag limit.

The practice of hanging coyotes on fences in some cases is due to a trapper the is doing animal damage control {ADC} for a rancher and is showing him the results.

That's as stupid as videoing a crime you're committing & then putting it on U-Tube.
I've had to deal with problem animals in my neighborhood before, but was VERY discreet.

That would not be illegal in Idaho. We can kill the vermin any time we want. What we do with the bodies is up to us. I trash can them, I hate squirrels. Ron
