Sure, mutilating an animal by removing its ability to defend itself against Predators (it will take a significant amount of time for those quills to grow back) is such a lovely thing to do... I suppose you advocate for the de-clawing of cats to avoid furniture scracthes?
Transfering your own problem to a neighbour! Calgarychef, bravo, you are a real class act. Porcupines chew through brakelines too. Perhaps the ones you get will focus on that activity instead of harming your trees, yet I doubt there are many (if any) present in a major urban center such as Calgary. Of course, I could be off base on that one. Now the reasonable among us will continue to harvest Porcupine and have a fine time doing it.
Carry on!
