    Re: A question of Ethics

    Not following the law is not ethical.
    Looking for absolution on the internet is weird.
    Inevitably, there are also doubts about "asking for a friend" questions.

    If your "friend" needs to eat this said turkey, to make it to the next day in life, then trap or kill the turkey. Feed yourself, that's what the turkey is on this earth for! Give a man a turkey feed him for a week, teach a man to turkey snatch, feed him for life! Right outta the good book!! So if it's good with the big guy upstairs, it's good for the men downstairs! moosin

    Property owners or their agents can do what they have to to 'take care' of problems and pests
    Beaver, cats, snakes, pigeons are all edible pests
    Pest control doesn't have to follow the same 'rules' of harvest as hunters or trappers. Local municipality 'rules' may dis-allow firearms discharge for any reason.

    Re: A question of Ethics

    I don't think it's ethical.
    Turkeys are still a rare commodity in BC and if you friend owns a large property he is probably not strapped for financial resources.

    Ethics has nothing to do with licenses.
    Government license does not create moral ground for harvesting animals.
    Need is the only thing that creates moral ground for harvesting animals.
    If he is not in need than it's definitely not ethical.


    Government does not determine what's ethical or not.
    Some people seem to live under that illusion.
    1. Human over population
    2. Government burden and overreach

    Ethics, smethics
    Hunters have no trouble wanting to whack a 'feral' animal, a domestic that has strayed off private land
    Whats the name for a wild critter that identifies as a 'domestic' by spending life on the farm and eating prepared food?

    If the Turkey is threatening or causing damage willfully or verbally abusing or using racial slurs to that turkey you call a friend by all means he should defend himself and his property........

    Trying to justify poaching is never ethical.

    Re: A question of Ethics

    If your friend has a license and tag, gets one turkey per year as per the regulations how would that be poaching? The questionable parts are the feeding and "trapping", if he just shot it then it would be a perfectly legal hunt if he's allowed to shoot on his farm legally?
    I suspect he traps a turkey, feeds it good food for a while then eats it for thanksgiving??
