I had a little grey fox flopping around in the road in front of the house having seizures and drooling. It took me all of 2 microseconds to decide to get a rifle. I shot it on the neighbors property and he came out while I was digging the hole. I wouldn't have cared a bit did he call the cops. That's a situation that presents a pretty clear and unequivocal threat and just needs to be handled right now.
