Hypothetical question [View all]

Suppose that a hypothetical person (let's call them, um, Xerro) were growing a hypothetical garden, but a hypothetical animal (let's call it a houndgrog) decided to help itself to just about every last vegetable.

Suppose further that Xerro were to catch the houndgrog in a humane trap in hope of releasing it elsewhere.

Let's say that Xerro deposited the houndgrog about 15 miles away in an uncultivated meadow surrounded by woods. Is that far enough to prevent it from finding its way back?

I've read conflicting suggestions online and wanted to pick a few brains here. And I ask because Xerro might hypothetically have spotted a houndgrog staking out the hypothetical garden, and they wondered if it's the same one or a successor.


Your hypothetical help is much appreciated!
