Killing Vermin

I believe that if someone kills a raccoon and people get upset about that then it should be the same for rats and other vermin. Only getting upset about cute animals being killed is unfair. death shouldn't be the first option. There are better ways to deal with pests, for example, if you have vermin living on your property that aren't harming anybody, you should call the Humane Society. If there are vermin that are killing anyone or are seen as dangerous and relocation doesn't help then that's when killing the animal should be acceptable, in my opinion.
