killing squirrels

Just goes to show how stupid most college students really are.

You can only rid your place of squirrels, if you are smarter than they are.

Save the Squirrels! It is their world too.

Squirrel, the Other White Meat...

Probably don't want to ask what's in the stew they're serving in the cafeteria...

What kind of mentality thinks that "armed hillbilly's" or "clowns" will be hired to rid the campus (or any other public area) of squirrels?

I live in Montana and we have problems with deer in towns and professional hunters do the job safely and efficiently. Have you Eastern ***** heard of any stray bullets killing anyone in our end of the country? Get off your PETA pedestal and learn a little common sense.

In Montana PETA stands for "People Eating Tasty Animals" And yes, them squirrels taste good.

By the way jimmy from NY; all rats have tails, not just the ones with squirrel skin coats.

Skwerls

Braised... that's how skwerl is best eaten, in my estimation. It's the only time I don't hate the varmints. In my opinion, a live skwerl is a terrorist.

Everyone thinks squirrels are just innocent little animals. And this may be true in the natural world however, because man has chased away all natural predators of these furry varmits, they breed and proliferate like rats.

I have battled them for years in my gardens. I have tried every non-lethal method and some I've thought of on my own. Nothing works.

The only way to control the population is to introduce a natural enemy (coyotes, foxes, etc.) or become their natural enemy.

And as for eating them....well, the only one's I've eaten were shot in the wild. Not the best eating, I'm a vegetarian now anyway and, I certainly wouldn't eat one from in a city.

"You all hit them with cars, we hit them with guns."

One is an accident, the other is intentional. Not the same at all.

And even thinking about sending armed hillbilly's onto a college campus is dumb.

Yum! Nothing better than a nice squirrel caccitore with a good fresh loaf of bread and a nice merlot.

I can just see some clown running around a crowded Collage shooting at rats with tails. Hope they get a squirrel not a student.

What kind of mind would think of something like this.

Please consider putting my email address adj. to my name.
