I have no qualms about killing them or how they die. Ideally I'd prefer a quick and comfortable death. I'd use both methods. Shoot as many as you can (if you can stomach it) and use the pellets (by-passing receptors type) for the left over. They are truly vermin. When I moved into my place, the guy who owns the plumbing company that did the plumbing brought his pellet rifle over, and we shot 12 to 15 of them. The hawks, buzzards, and ravens took care of the bodies. As time went on, I shot occasional ones as a sort of maintenance program. Been here nine years now and only have one or two around. They act like they know, because whenever they see me, the high tail it immediately. My real problem/struggle now is gophers. I'm still trying to get my home made rodenator to work.
