I am not downloading the laws of your state to find out for sure, but I know that in most states, what you did is illegal, without 1st getting permission from your states area Conservation Officer to dispatch the animal. Which, if caught doing so is generally subject to prosecution for poaching.
Not illegal where I did it but I will tell you straight up that before I waited 2 hours for a cop to show up in the rural area I live (if he showed up at all) I'd put the animal out of it's misery legal or not. Just being honest. If that has any bearing on your opinion of me then so be it. I did not and would never remove the carcass from where it lay.
So who do I believe the Nazi's or the Allies,
Well according to this crowd since you were never a Nazi and did not participate in the actual extermination of Jews anything negative you say about Hitler, the Nazi's or the holocaust is rank speculation on your part and therefore utterly meaningless. Just as you must have shot a tame animal in a pen to have an opinion on that subject as well. Because as we all know the human mind cannot fathom anything that the body attached to it hasn't actually done. LOL!
That clear it up for ya?
