I am not so sure.<br /><br /> I killed a squirrel the other day, intentionally. Not because I wanted to (even though I hate their destructiveness), I sort of had to. Ever had a squirrel in your house/flat? I have. It can get dicey and dangerous. They have claws and teeth. They chew on rain gutters, tree limbs and are ruining my chimney. They've taken up a nest in the Douglas fir in my front yard. I wasn't happy I killed it, rather relieved the pest was gone.<br /><br /> If they didn't make so much noise bounding across the roof (and ruining it) it would be one thing. But they are contantly digging in my grass to find nuts they haven't buried or are too stupid to remember where they are. They dig in our flower pots/beds for nuts that aren't there. If I get three more, the family is gone and I save a possible 18 more baby squirrels.<br /><br /> Squirrels have no real enemies here. A hawk will get them occasionally, but not often enough to keep populations down. I do, however, not care to fire pellets indiscriminately, so I think I will get a lethal trap and avoid problems in the future. You can kill nuisance squirrels, but shooting them is not in any way encouraged, so I will have to give it up. Trapping will do the same thing in the end and the Broad Wing may appreciate no steel in his lunch, should he find it soon enough after termination.<br /><br /> Perhaps I can train one...</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41226.86&return_msg=41226.80" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41226.86"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41226_87"></a><div class="message" id="message_41226_87"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Ken (SHIELDSIT)<span class="message_time">11 Oct 2014 02:51</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: fixrman <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 11 Oct 2014 12:30"></span></span> <span class="message_count">87 of 177</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41226.87">41226.87</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41226.80#a41226_86" target="_self">41226.86</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Murdererererer!</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41226.87&return_msg=41226.80" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41226.87"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41226_88"></a><div class="message" id="message_41226_88"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: fixrman<span class="message_time">11 Oct 2014 12:31</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Ken (SHIELDSIT) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 11 Oct 2014 13:24"></span></span> <span class="message_count">88 of 177</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41226.88">41226.88</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41226.80#a41226_87" target="_self">41226.87</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Hey, it was either him or my gutters, flower pots, gardens or lawn.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41226.88&return_msg=41226.80" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41226.88"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41226_89"></a><div class="message" id="message_41226_89"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Monsoir (PILOTDAN)<span class="message_time">11 Oct 2014 17:18</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: fixrman <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 11 Oct 2014 21:12"></span></span> <span class="message_count">89 of 177</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41226.89">41226.89</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41226.80#a41226_86" target="_self">41226.86</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I didn't mean happy in the sense of taking pleasure, but rather happy in the sense of something you're comfortable with as a consequence. In other words, don't shoot things you don't want dead.<br /><br /> For example, our armed police "shoot to stop", because "shooting to kill" implies that you're going to keep on shooting until they're dead. However, they will only ever shoot someone when the idea of the person being killed is better than the alternative.<br /><br /> Shooting to wound (and anything similar) is idiocy and a complete misnomer. It's an absolute best case scenario in a huge scale of bad things up to long drawn out death, none of which the shooter is particularly in control of. In addition, you're much more likely to fuck it up and miss and, if you can afford to miss, then you probably shouldn't be shooting at them anyway.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 11 Oct 2014 17:20 by PILOTDAN</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41226.89&return_msg=41226.80" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41226.89"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="message_page_footer"> <ul> <li class="right_col"><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="DEFAULT" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="41226.90" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="keep_reading" value="Keep reading…" class="button" /></form></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
