(i bet some of them are cat owners so therefore forfeit any argument about killing things as they choose to have a wanton killing machine in the house as a pet)
[rhetorical question]Is this the same disconnect that allows people to eat meat too because someone else does the killing in an abattoir/fishing boat?[/rhetorical question]
Did they threaten you about abusing their squirrel rights at all?
I think they muttered something just before they met their maker! 😈

What? Something like "Don't you disrespek me man, I got rights innit"?
One of those swish bow & explosive arrow combos would work a treat, Rambo 2 stylee.
however, you could always make an insulated, electrified suit out of chickenwire, rubber & nuts. Probably more humane.

i dunno? is this disconnect the same as that of vegetarian (cat owners) who crave a Utopian world free of vermin killers while ignoring the prospect of a huge rabbit and pigeon population that will be feeding on their broccoli?
the same disconnect that gives liberal thinking do-gooders the inability to see beyond their own little world?
You should see the damage that rabbits do. I do some "rabbit control" for the farmer who lives next door. On some fields last year I'd say a couple of acres of crop was ruined per field and I have 300+ acres to look after. At the end of the day, it all translates to higher food prices even for veggies!

Anyway, rabbit is tasty and 70% of the ones I erm... "control" are for the pot. I eat some, my mate gives some away to old age pensioners, we sell some to a game dealer and the rest (30%) are left for M. Reynard whose presence always gives me a lift or sometimes we give the smaller ones to a chap with ferrets.
Grey squirrels are just a different form of pest, they may look cuddly and cute but they aren't, especially when they get in your loft and like all pests, they don't go away if you trap and release them elsewhere, they'll either come back or give someone else a problem - not really a solution.
