Euthanizing skunks via injection? - 10/03/19 07:14 PM

Pm me if not cool to openly discuss.... Where can I find legal info regarding euthanasia via injection. Mainly trying to find out if it’s legal in my state (Ohio) and what the laws are. I have found No wording in my nuisance manual...

Thanks

Thought I’d correct your wording. Your original post was highly specific. But I’ll bite with a thought on the topic:
I’ve never euthanized a skunk by shooting it with a bullet, but I’ve heard that their dying goodbye is almost always a long, hardy tail spray. I’ve wondered if jabbing a skunk with a syringe pole would have the same result, so I’ve personally never gone in that direction. Perhaps others on this forum can comment on their success or non-success using a syringe pole on a skunk. Here in the state of Iowa we are not compelled to euthanize healthy skunks, but I know other states have different laws concerning mandatory dispatching.

Best just ask someone in Ohio that would know. Better to get told than go get a fine. Probably no rules on immunization of a skunk.

You DO NOT jab a skunk with a syringe pole. You insert the syringe needle into the skunk slow and easy. Jabbing will get you sprayed.

There are two absolutes in this life.

The first is that when the last human is dead, a coyote will be howling over the primate's grave.

The second is, the last human will be still wondering how to kill a skunk every time and not have it end up spraying.

As you were informed, do not ask people on this site. Call up your Ohio gopher police and ask them what the regulations are, so you do not get fined or Homeland does not appear wanting to know what you are doing with chemicals to kill things and you end up on a list.

Here is the link for your CO's

Probably the only way you'll find out for sure is by consulting an attorney. Asking a game and fish officer here would likely be soliciting legal advice which they cant give since after all they wont be able to opine on every conceivable circumstance and what they feel is reasonable someone else might not.

Federal and state laws also might deviate from one another or be vague enough that some over zealous prosecutor that loves animals goes after you if they know you're doing something they have a crusade against.

Years ago an old timer used to put a metal tub over them and gas em with hose from the tail pipe of his truck, they never sprayed.

The wording is under toxicology/ chemicals... and using any chemical that is not labeled for your interned use. If not labeled for used by manufacture then not lawful Bold letters.... The label is the law. This is info I found, don't care how you interpret it. most won't tell you if they do or don't its a personal choice most keep to themselves.
