Reply to comment by Neilpoleon in Rat hunting with dogs in DC? by webbmoncure

I think a rat having its spine broken by a dog is a lot less cruel than death by poisoning. It’s almost sad to watch them not run from danger and stumble around in daylight.

I'm not arguing that poison is more humane than using a dog or gun. I am saying there may be certain legal restrictions that limit how you are allowed to kill a rat legally in the District. For example, I assume setting a rat on fire would be easily and rightfully treated as animal cruelty.
