no it's not. drowning is horrifying. I don't think you get how bad it is. yes, bashing it 10 times is still more merciful

Drowning is possibly the WORST way you can die, period. it's very violent and agonizing. many people don't realize that. some people think it's a peaceful way to go. it's not. not even close

How the FUCK would you even know?

Beating it with an oar isn't really practical though. First off, they would have to corner it. That would be a difficult task anywhere, let alone on a boat where, as evidenced in the video, it would likely jump off anyway. If it didn't jump off, it could instead attack somebody. Even if they took a swing at it, they could just injure it and it could hop overboard anyway or hide on the boat and bleed internally in agony until it dies. They can't even necessarily guarantee that they would kill it.

Removing it from the boat guaranteed the problem was removed. Drowning sucks, but that's not for the boat owner to worry about.

Most likely he's had personal experience watching animals' reactions as he drowned them. The way he's so up in arms about this whole thing makes it look like he's trying to make up for what he's done.

It isn't. It's not on the boat owner to select a riskier, potentially less effective method of removing a problem just because the more efficient and effective method has worse implications for the problem. Removing it from the boat was safer and much more reliable.

I can understand rationally the arguments people are making about getting rid of the raccoon, but no way I could do that unless it was actively trying to bite me and even then I'd feel terrible about it. The video owner is a dick regardless of whether or not it was a rational decision.

Knowing people who have tried to kill themselves by drowning, they say it's uncomfortable at first but then you suddenly feel calm once your lungs have filled up. It's really not the worst.

Bashing it with an oar is in no way more "merciful" where the hell do you get that idea?

Yeah, let's clobber the thing slowly over 5 minutes, breaking bones and destroying internal organs along the way. Let's watch as it's agonized screams fade away into painful wheezing. Way more merciful than simply pushing the creature into the water.

Not to mention, if he misses with the oar, he risks an agitated rabid raccoon charging and attacking him.

Or he misses and damages the boat somehow and he's either stranded or sinking.

Swinging an oar wildly is possibly the dumbest thing he could have done in that situation. Especially since at the end of the day the fucking thing is an overgrown rat.

What if he beats the thing unconscious, then gets bit or scratched tossing it overboard if it wakes up? Then he has to go through the rabies treatment. If you don't have the attacking animal present for them to test it for rabies, they have to assume you've been exposed to rabies and you have to get the (very expensive) shots.

It didn't have rabies. I saw the video. Quit trying to defend animal cruelty.

Did you lick it to make sure? In what way can you say the animal didn't have it? The fact is you can't say it did or didn't without having caught it and having it held in a cage long enough for symptoms to show up. All you can say it wasn't showing symptoms yet.
It still wasn't right how it was treated. If possible it should have been captured and then chased off where it could survive.

Interesting how many people here supposedly know if an animal has rabies by sight alone

"The time between the bite and the appearance of symptoms is called the incubation period and it may last for weeks to months." Even then it takes another 3-5 days on top of that for symptoms to appear

You guys are really good if you can tell with no symptoms. No tests either.

I hope no one seriously would consider ruining someone's life over a raccoon. I see these animals all over the place where I live and where I hunt. They're not rare. They're not an endangered or protected species.

While he couldn't kill it humanely, he didn't have a lot of options. Can't beat it to death with an oar. If it's sick, don't want to get close enough with a knife to cut/stab it (plus all that blood). If he couldn't trap it safely and keto himself out of harm's way, then the fish get fed and the circle of life continues

I mean, yeah... How many people would even know about it really if he hadn't? I don't doubt people around here kill raccoons all the time, I know some people even run over stray cats around here. What they don't do is record doing so.

I'm not saying what he did was nice, not getting into if he should or shouldn't have at all. Not touching that. But it's not smart to record it and all, that's asking for trouble right there.

I find it ironic that humans call other animals vermin.

For what he did and how callous he acted he should be officially charged with animal cruelty simply due to the nature of how this animal died. For him to have his life ruined and business destroyed however is a little extreme.

Personally, I wouldn't have done the raccoon that dirty, but I get it. However, once you do something and then let everyone know you're doing something that may potentially be stupid or seen as dickish you deserve what you get.

Now, does it suck for him, yes. I don't give a single fuck though.

100% this. I would probably chill with it until we got back to land, but I recognize the dangers, and I don't have a problem with someone exterminating it to avoid them. But to take pleasure in it? nah that is sick.

It's grossly incompetent IMO.

If a lawyer lacks common sense to not post something like that, I don't want them.

If I happened to overhear him talking to someone about it, while not really happy about it, I wouldn't question his common sense.

I don't want a lawyer that displays such a lack of common sense sorry. There's a ton of other jobs that I wouldn't question it with, but lawyer isn't one of them. They're supposed to not be that freaking oblivious or dumb, whatever made him think that was a good idea.

It's not like there's no other lawyers. Especially, but not limited to as noted, if I had to pay for one I'd want one that I had confidence in. It's not even the act, which I'll admit leaves a bad taste in my mouth, it's the video that has me having a lack of confidence in him professionally.
