This has got to be the silliest article ever. It's groundhog, for goodness sakes. Family friends in Michigan shoot them to protect their horses----one step in a hole and there's a dead horse.

I think the groundhog was rabid too, and it's pretty silly that people are actually upset about it.

The people that get upset about these things are the same ones that would say the government should have done something if the rabid groundhog infected one of their pets.

That thing didn't act right.

First shot didn't kill it. Must have been using a 9mm

"This just happened. And I’m soooo distraught," wrote Justyna Olkowska on Facebook.

"Like I cannot believe I just witnessed this. If you’re not an animal lover, you won’t understand my pain," she wrote.

I'm an animal lover. I love them grilled, roasted, stewed, braised ...

(I'm left wondering if the officer used one of his roadkill tags on himself)

Yes. One shot with a .45 would have destroyed it's soul, AND caused a pothole in Liberty Road. .

Something was wrong with the hog. Unless you were on top of the den they run like crazy when they see us or dogs. The silly part is that we all are spending too much time on a hog in the middle of the road. Chris

Good shoot.

The woman in the article said "What would have happened if my nice or kids were in the car to witness that".... well, the young-uns would have gotten a lesson in how life works.
