There are airgunners out there taking goats and pigs as well as foxes, I think a lot of shooters would be surprised at just how effective a PCP airgun can be, a .22lr at 100yds would be producing the same energy as some of these airguns at 50yds.

I know they are a pest but they still deserve to be killed cleanly and humanely.

This is brilliant. I once had a run-in with an RSPCA fundraiser who freaked out when I told her I shoot pests (rabbits & foxes). I tried to explain that the animal was dead as soon as the bullet (or shot) went through its head. She truly did not realize that her leather boots were made from the skin of an animal - she told me they came "from a fashion house".
All I could do was walk away, wishing her a long and happy life.

When I was 5, even I had realized just from watching educational programs, leather came from animals. Alongside meat, antlers/horns and everything else in between. When my classmates found out at first about where leather comes from, some of them refused to ever again wear their fancy shoes or sit in their mum's car because they were 'laying against a dead body'.
I'm pretty sure I grew up with city 'tards.
