Judging from some of your replies, you sure don't speak like a country girl...and you have no idea what cruelty is.
Sometimes its just answering your silly posts, so I find it fruitless and will just stop reading yours. They are true cruelty...(I can use that word inappropriately just as you do) BB guns Bah, before the wussy' nosy Biddie's started running this country, ever boy grew up with a BB gun and some girls also...The government paid a bounty to get rid of vermin,(including crows) now they make you pay them to get rid of vermin like Florida that wants to get rid of the non-native pythons some lover of animals let loose when they weren't cute little snakes anymore...killing off the natural wildlife and someone's kitty or small dog...Instead of having to buy a special license, if the stupid government put a bounty on those vermin, they'd all be gone in a couple of years..
Who would have ever thought a country girl would so hate BB guns..makes me wonder what country.....have a great day..
The firearm most commonly used is the air rifle or BB gun. Unfortunately many adults and most young people are under the mistaken assumption that an air rifle kills immediately. In reality, the small air-driven projectiles or pellets do not carry the sufficient kinetic energy needed to humanely dispatch small animals, thus rendering them hopelessly wounded to die a slow death. Birds rendered flightless and maimed small mammals such as rabbits are just some of the many animals admitted to the SPCA Wildlife Department carrying air gun pellets in their bodies (see X-ray photo of a pellet lodged in a crow's upper body, above). In rare cases removal and a successful recovery are possible, but all too often severe damage has been done, thus rehabilitation and release are not options.
