Thus, I'm perplexed regarding my ultimate goal...to fish with hopes of catching lots of bass, crappie and catfish.
In order to fish, Old John does NOT require me to rid his pond of turtles, but he has asked me to remove them by killing them.
Perplexing...I would feel guilt for shooting and killing the first 2 turtles, but then I'd become numb to it, and I'm forge onward.
If I choose to "trap them," I know afterwards if I stood above a cage/basket, or simply had them in a pile in front of me on the ground, and I simply "shot them point blank," I KNOW the guilt would kill me!
If I trap them, I know I'd give myself an extra chore of "driving" them to a stream or creek and letting them go.
I know, I know, it's silly.
1. air rifle or .22, shoot them one by one whenever I get the chance
2. catch/trap them, then shoot them right in front of me and dump the bodies in the trash
3. catch/trap them, then drive them to a creek to set them free
4. don't do anything and hope Old John will forget about it and just let me fish
...------ Well this is a fairly philosophical question that you're facing here Joe. All of these options say varying things about your character, your humanity, your compassion, and your drive to fish private ponds. A question truly fitted for Socrates or Hume, even Descartes. Good luck.

I wonder if simply shooting as many as I can would help me with my "anger problem" I bragged about having?
I know a couple members want to get me fired from my educator position because I should not be around or influencing the "innocent."
Ha, that's funny, the "innocent."
...!!!
