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.

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

I like squirrels- they don’t bother anybody.

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

You must not live in Georgia. Those critters are lawn killers. Or as we call ‘em - Tree Kitties

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.

I need one for the moles in my yard, too. Think they carry these at Home Depot? LOL.
