If you do kill it..I believe your supposed to burn for disposal as it can be spread. I think it can be spread through the animals feces as well. A buddy of mine killed one like that out of Ione.

Yea they pass it along by contact.  I'm pretty sure this one did not make it long after this photo, we hit negative temps and well below wind chill temps.  Probably did not survive those temps.
