Ok, not sure if this is the right place to post this question but here it goes:
I work for a non-profit on the south side of South Bend. The non-profit is the landlord for a charter school that rents a separate building on the complex. They school called our maintenance supervisor today to see if we can take care of a ground hog that's stuck in a window well. Groundhogs are a nuisance animal as they dig around the building foundation and under the pavement which causes collapse & pot holes after the winter.
Maintenance told them to call South Bend/St. Joe Animal Control. The school did and reported that Animal Control told them there's nothing they can do, they won't come out to take care of the groundhog.
Our maintenance supervisor knows that I hunt (and have even harvested and cooked up groundhog). He asks if I can take care of it after school, after the kids and faculty are all gone for the day.
Can I, under the authority of the landlord, whack the whistle pig in the window well? My means of choice would be (A) an Aguila SSS 60 gr subsonic .22 round out of a Marlin 39A-- real quiet or (B) a .177 out of a Diana RWS 48 air rifle (it'll do the job).
Other than an air rifle or .22 I could opt for a heavy rock to the head, sledgehammer, or go all tribal on his fuzzy butt with a shaft-fashioned-into-a-pike.
Not eager to lose my lifetime LTCH or get crosswise with the law by any means by doing something that seems like a common sense solution that's not so common sense anymore.
If there are any attorneys that would like to chime in, please identify yourself

Claws that can move dirt that fast can do some serious damage. Not to mention a pair of incisors as wide as your thumb.
