Is it illegal to kill an animal if it is destroying property?

The animal is wild, undomesticated. It is destroying grass on a golf course. Is it legal to kill this animal?
You’ll have to check local ordinances to be sure, but in many places, yes. Do it humanely. If it is on an endangered species list, then no. If there is a local animal control agency, it would probably be best to call them in instead. If the animal poses an immediate threat, then you’re likely to be fine, but it has to be an imminent threat to people.
