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.

Pull up. That last line is now so easy to defend its ridiculous. Best the popo and govt are charged as they have in fact caused anim cruelty via removing best tool for job.
