The funniest thing about the article is the detailed research and gathering of commentary from all over the country. She even has a comment from the "Oregon nonprofit that researches animal trauma and recovery and seeks to promote trans-species communication"
Why would any sane person get pleasure for killing an animal for fun? Talk about a mental health issue.
[”What clicked about this event was the cycle of violence and encouraging children to harm and kill for money,” she said.]
If liberals stay in power “to harm and kill for money” may become one of the few occupational options left.
Hopefully they have enough ammunition for the contest.
It’s permanent open season on tree rats around here, they can be very destructive to attics and crawlspaces if they get in - and we don’t eat them - too small.
Not only is it fun but they are good eatin too!
If you ever had squirrels in your attict chewing up wires and almost burning up your house due to shorts you wouldn;t be saying that.
You would consider a squirrel hunt a form of “pest control”...
Plus squirrels these days have fewer natural predators so it is a good thing evolutionarily speaking to act as a selection pressure from time to time to increase their genetic strength.
It is like the rabbits in my neighborhood, they are everywhere and recently they got all concerned about some disease they found to be spreading around by the rabbits, well if they hunted/trapped them it would keep the population down and there would be fewer coyotes eating peoples dogs when they go into town to eat the overly plentiful rabbits.
Squirrels.
What the first Mrs. Lurkin referred to as “tree rats.”
Ammunition?
All someone has to do is feed-up their pet squirrel and take it in to win the prize.
Squirrels don’t live all that long, so it makes sense to take in your old pet and get the money. Then maybe you’ll have enough cash for a dog.
This story has everything! Thanks for posting....
Down in the West Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican squirrel.
Stole that one from someone yesterday.
Actually a squirrel hunt may be good training for people incase SHTF, squirrels may be the only food left should things collapse....
Squirrels are a serious pest in some areas of the country and squirrel is an edible game animal. Whenever my uncle has to thin the squirrels around his farm, he makes sure that the little critters are cooked up in a big batch of squirrel and dumplings and then he takes some to some of the struggling families in his town.
Texas has more feral pigs than we can handle.
I ate more squirrels and rabbits as a kid growing up in the 50s than you can shake a nut at.
That being said, I feed the rats where I live...........LOL!
check out my home page......
I use a nice poison that I've compounded, use traps and shoot them. I started out using live traps but I was losing the battle
I don’t care to hunt anymore, but I’d dearly love a panful of squirrel and gravy right about now.
Or dump a can of pork and beans in the fryins.
YUM!!!
.
I’m glad they did not have a cat hunting fundraiser, the animal nut-jobs would really be freaking out.
You got that right digger, my grandma used to parboil them and then lightly coat in flower and fry them for breakfast. Served with molasses and hot buscuits. It doesn’t get any better than that.
