    Shooting down a tree limb to recover a stuck ball or boomerang or drone from up high. A small bore shotgun like a .410 is pretty good for taking down tree limbs like that.

        I’m talking about higher up than any stick or ladder reaches you goof. Embarrassing is you not being able to imagine that.

            “Destruction of life” - we are talking about a branch or two on a tree, so what? Trees get trimmed and pruned all the time out of necessity of landscaping.

            Imagine the countless microorganisms that live and die each day, whose cellular membranes could be disrupted by the soap you bathe with. There could be billions or more living things that you murder on a daily basis by washing yourself. Imagine if your house was infested with roaches and fleas and you had to hire an exterminator to exterminate those lives.

            Death and taking of life is simply a part of life, and we are inherent members of the food chain which perpetuates it, so it’s not productive to worry about every minuscule effect that every action has as a result.
