There will be ZERO tolerance for shaming, brigading, harassment, or other nonsense of those who keep, hunt, harvest, and process animals. [See rule 98.] You will be permanently banned the first time. You are NOT morally superior because you choose not to.
-
If you post a picture that includes blood, gore, or a dead animal mark it NSFW. We're not going to tolerate the militant anti-hunting and anti-farming bullshit here but we're also not going to tolerate people rubbing their hunting and harvesting in people's faces. [See rule 98.] If you post blood, gore, or dead animals and don't mark it NSFW it will be removed.
[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]
-
If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.

Don't be a dick. Yes, this is a catch-all rule. Yes, you absolutely can be permanently banned for Rule 98 violations.

The mod(s) have the final say.

Looking online, there's some disagreement. Some places say you need to go to miles to prevent them from returning. Other places say if you go more than 100 yards they'll probably die because they don't know where to find food or shelter, so they suggest making sure the ways they got into your house are sealed up.
If it were me, I think it would depend more on the area you live in. In you're in an urban environment, it doesn't make sense to me to release them locally - your just be causing problems for someone else. In that case, is probably drive far enough that there were open spaces for them to live in. If you live where there's lots of open spaces, I'd probably just go far enough where your house isn't the most attractive place. From what I'm reading, they don't tend to roam far from where they make their burrow if there's food.
