| 199. I had to shoot a potentially rabid racoon on our farm... |

...it was threatening our cows and family members. Fortunately testing shows it was not rabid but it had distemper.
It was much safer and more humane to shoot it rather than try to club to death it or something, and given its behavior it was unsafe to allow it to remain near our house and barn.
Living on a farm, I see a gun as a tool for situations like this. A needed and useful tool. Nothing more nothing less.
