There is no reason to kill it. Try your town hall. My neighbor had a problem animal and the town animal control people set a Have-a heart trap. The nighbors watched for the animal to be caught in the trap and the animal control took it away. hmmm, the only thing, is I wonder if they killed it.
We have plenty of wild critters around the neighborhood. We bought a trap and caught groundhogs,rabbits,possums. The rabbits we let them go because they don't do any harm around our yard. The others we take them to the huge park nearby and release them.
I'm not sure if we're supposed to be doing this. We just make sure no park employees or some goodie goodie is nearby. The park is a wild habitat and not your run of the mill city park. There are large ravines and places where people won't be hiking.
Once caught, we line the trunk of the car with newspapers. Put on thick leather gloves so not to touch anything. The ground hogs usually growl and hiss. The possums usually sleep. LOL. The park is only a couple of miles away and we let the animals out and they make a new home.
