I believe these natives of South America were introduced here to raise for meat - big mistake.  Should have stuck to piggies, lambsies and moo-cows plus the odd bunny wabbit.  East Anglia used to have a problem with them but I heard they had eradicated them.

Now guinea pigs are a worthwhile proposition for the table.
Do not try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

So if it was a "quick and clean way to go" Cassis, what was it finally?

Drowning.  Just submerged the cage in water.  Not a pleasant thing to have to do, but there you go - life ain't all rosy.

Pathetic and disgusting.  Sorry, but that's my opinion.  If you can't do things correctly, then don't do them.

Oh, the superior human race !

Why not, even a shot in the head would have been better.  Drowning an animal trapped in a cage is an easy and cowardly act.  I tried to see when you asked this morning how they deal with them and even a chasseur was asking about it as he couldn't see himself drowning one.  If you would like to see the forum I can probably find it again.

Just because an animal is classed as "nuisible", doesn't mean it deserves no respect and should not be humanely dealt with.

You came on here this morning asking what you should do with it.  Surely you should have found that out before you trapped them.  You obviously had no experience and did not know what you were doing, so found the easy way out.
