You leap to conclusions faster than a jack rabbit...

The woodchucks had 1 of 2 choices in life, have their holes pluged and smoked to death, or, shot. As a farmer you cannot just leave these things unchecked to destroy your crops. In addition your equipment as well as you very costly pets, the horses. Yes, I grew up on a farm.

Hunting for deer is to me a total pleasure thing, not that I find it pleasurable, but it is a sport, it is not for protection of family and farm. I have never hunted deer, rabbit, turkey or anything like that. Just pests like woodchucks and starlings. Oh wait, I remember, I did try like hell to get the fox that took out 20 some laying hens...

Oh crap. I'm on one of Ellen's lists now, aren't I?

Yes, it has a right to live, and the farmer has the right to make a living, therefore, if the woodchuck is smart enough to not make a home in a crop field then a long life is in order, should it decide to make home in such a way that the farmer's livelihood and his children's safety are in jeopardy then no, it has given up its right to life. You might be too much of a pampered city slicker to get it, that's ok.

Steve, have you ever sat down and asked a woodchuck to pack up the cubs and move over to another non-tilled field and stop eating the crops? Let me know how this works out for ya...

I agree. The only time I agree with killing animals is if you plan to eat what you killed or the animal threatens your life.
