All the nasty varmints that get shot in other parts of the country get this treatment here in CA. We are absolutely nuts that way. I’ve “disposed” of close to 100 squirrels on my property. These same kooks will expend extraordinary resources to save just one squirrel...all the time murdering human babies by the truckload. It really makes me sick. I’m glad you feel the same way about this lack of common sense and proportion.
I’ll bet my husband has killed well over 300 squirrels out
here. They get in his pear trees and eat every pear they
can stuff in their pieholes. I hear BOOM! and the buzzards
fly in for a meal happy as larks to get something besides
the roadkill they usually have.
