Thread: 22 hornet on goats?

I detect a misunderstanding.

.22 hornet semis are illegal as centrefire. Only rimfires .22 and below are legal semis.

Most powerful semi available for non commercial pestcontrollers is a .17 WSM. And yes, speak to SPCA.

If shooting goats for pest control you are exempted from the charge of "deliberate animal cruelty" under the animal welfare act (even if it IS deliberate cruelty!).

If purely harvesting goats for meat and not for pestcontrol, you could be charged if using an inadequate / suboptimal round.
