People should be able to kill rodents on their property.
“People should be able to kill rodents on their property.”
Yes. As a young girl with boy cousins who went after squirrels for fun, I was appalled by their behavior. But as an adult homeowner with vegetable gardens ravaged by squirrels, I really considered borrowing my neighbor’s pellet pistol. Someone in the neighborhood was leaving peanuts for squirrels. We never figured out who it was, but it increased the squirrel population to the extent that we had to abandon our veggie garden. They still manage to cut our tulips in half every year.
That said, squirrel antics are fun to watch and I don’t hate them. But thinning the population is necessary from time to time.
I recall my grandpa shooting squirrels sitting on the back porch in Ohio and letting me try.
That has stayed with me all my life and I always wanted a place where I could do that.
I have the property now and the critters but I have no desire to shoot em.
Including those campaigning for office ? ;-D
