At war with the squirrels

[dimentichisimai]

“Utterly destroy them…”
– Deuteronomy 20:17

Squirrels eat my garden every year.

The replies that I totally expected, lol. God made the earth and everything in it for people only, right? Screw all the other living creatures, my Bible says I can use whatever I want, any way I want to, darn it! A major reason the earth is in the shape it’s in.

Well, have at it, good luck with that one!

“Have Gun, Will Travel”

It’s not a sin in the Catholic Church, but it’s heavy karma in most eastern religions, which you probably won’t give a fig about. Lots of people care about wantonly killing God’s creatures.

Define “creatures”. Would you swat a mosquito, a fly, trap a mouse, a rat? Is there a line and where do you draw it.

“Have Gun, Will Travel”

Have skillet, will sizzle.

Have skillet, will sizzle.

Rejoice, a business venture! My gun, your skillet. I’ll pop em, you fry em.

We could call it The Pop n Fry Traveling Eatery! Kinda like Meals one Wheels.

Food trucks are hip! We’ll make a killing.

And we can use the food truck to not only pick up road kill – but to make road kill!

No food for animials = no animals.

Some areas of the country have had a bumper crop of acorns.

Vaccum up the acorns with a shop vac. No permit required.

Done.

Not sure where your from, but Minnesota has a really big State Fair and everything they sell to eat is fried and on a stick. We have deep fried Twinkies on a stick! This could be something, maybe we should take the venture to “The Shark Tank” and ask for $100,000 for 5% of the company

Only if it’s illegal to shoot within city limits, or illegal to kill without a license if one is required. Otherwise there is nothing immoral about protecting your family and your property. And you are killing them in a quick and humane way, not a lingering death in a trap or by poison.

I see nothing wrong with this. Just make sure you are disposing of them properly so you don’t cause other pest problems.

So you mean to tell me that if it’s the government says something is illegal it’s a sin? I call bull ****, abortion isn’t illegal and it is a MAJOR sin. I don’t think that is how the Church defines sins friend.

Thank goodness I’m not the only one. We live backed up to a prairie preserve and the bunnies are like a biblical plague. Things will likely stabilize in a few years as the coyote population is rapidly increasing due to the delectable menu.

My poor veggie garden is no match. Even commercially marketed bunny fencing merely holds out ADULT bunnies, not the teenagers. My wife has been opposed to anything that remotely looks like a gun in our house. Yes dear.

Thankfully, she was very specific, which allowed me to come home with a high powered slingshot and some fierce steel shot. I’ve only managed 2 hits/kills, but by gum they sure have learned fast to be SCARED of me. I used to be able to walk up to within 12 feet of them. Now they take off when they hear my door open. Time to start using the front door. Muhuhahahaha…

Population explosions aren’t natural and lead to disease, and eventual starvation when preferred food sources are destroyed. Hunting overpopulated varmints in urbanized settings isn’t sinful, it’s a participation in balancing out the food chain. Just don’t let your kids watch Bambi and you’ll be fine!

The squirrel war in my neighborhood is between the squirrels themselves. Black squirrels have moved in on the gray squirrel population and there is a fight for territory which is simply amazing. I have actually seen the grays muster troops, make some sort of weird chatter among themselves, and then rush en masse into black squirrel territory (which begins at about the the hickory tree in the middle of my yard) from a point in my landscaped island.

The only time the squirrels really bother us is in the fall, because we have hickory trees ,and they climb the trees and drop the nut shells on the roof, the sound of which is very annoying.

The chipmunks do far worse damage, and they have seriously multiplied since my old cat died. My neighbor has made a hobby out of catching them. They are very destructive. I need a new cat.

Ok parishoners, I have a plan…
I’l supply a Crossman and my trigger finger.
manualman is in charge of rabbit.
Secretary Monday gets transportation (the Dodge D2500)
Rejoice Always, you bring the skillet
TimothyH, acorns for bait
Micey Finn, we’ll grow fast so we’ll need a 2nd shooter
RealJuliane,can ya train Jackie to retrieve?
tabycat can supply the side dish (fresh peas and green beens)
empther, lobster for Fridays during Lent

We get a “license to kill” and put a food server on the Dodge and take this show on the road. We can hit all the church bazaars offering fried squirrel and rabbit on a stick with lobster as back-up for Fridays.We’d make a killing…what could go wrong. Might even sell sunglasses for those church goers who forgot to bring theirs

forgot CB Catholic I think Black Squirrel would add some variety to the meal. Plus,if I remember correctly, they’re larger then the grays

 

[tabycat]

Judging by the cats I’ve owned in the past. They have something of a sense of humor.

ATB

Dogs have owners, cats have servents, unless there Siamise, then:stretcher: they have slaves :crutches:

One cat made contact with the dog at the vet’s office…It was one of the resident cats, and Jackie bounded up to it, tail a-wagging and little eyes all sparkling, “Let’s play!”

Cat: “Stick it, dog.” SWATS her on the nose!

Dog: Turns around, looks dejectedly at me, “What happened, what did I do??”

That sounds like what happened to Sammy (neightor’s dog) the one time he came looking for one of his ‘humans’. When he came up the driveway Amber (the cat) came flying out of the gerage (where her litter of kittens was) and sent him home with a bloody nose. (cat about 8 pounds, dog about 35 pounds) :bounce:
