[history]
So the Parks and Recreation department is going to use a special machine to detonate some of the 100 to 150 rodents that are tearing up the grounds.
The machine is called the Rodenator Pro. It pumps propane and oxygen into the tunnels of squirrels, then sends an electric spark that causes an explosion. The shock waves kill the squirrels and collapse their tunnels.

Cool! A rodent-scaled thermobaric bomb. I need one of those to deal with the moles in my lawn.

I came for the Caddyshack reference, and was not disappointed.

I like squirrels, too. They don’t bother anyone and are fun to watch. If there are too many then why not shoot them for the meat instead of just blowing them to smitherines.

Lawsuit, lawsuit, calling the A.C.L.U. You can’t put a man in prison for killing a cat, and let another go for killing squirrels, THIS my friend is descrimination, nothing else.

Just send Huckabee to Spokane. I’m sure he’ll mitigate the squirrel infestation there very easily.

I have a problem with it.
Liberal nutjobs thinking they know better about the environment more than anyone else. They think they know what the ‘right’ balance should be.
Average person tries to do this with his little pellet gun, you’re arrested and booked. All-knowing and ever-so-smart government decides to do it, it’s gospel.
