Nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned......I trapped muskrats as a kid and had my traps on wooden floats with a chunk of lead on the chain so as soon as they were caught, they'd fall off and drown instead of suffering with a clamp on the leg.
I had never been up close to a skunk and set a trap in a hollow under a tree with a chunk of meat inside with the idea of catching a coon when it reached in. Next morning I had a striped coon also. It was inside the hole with just it's head sticking out. Little tiny head was so cute that I figured it was a baby so reached down and pulled it out to take the trap off.

Whole neighborhood stunk, butter, bread, and everything opened in the kitchen tasted like skunk along with all the stuff that was in the freezer..
Needless to say, I wasn't the most popular guy in the house....
