The heartless thug who kicked a squirrel into the Grand Canyon in a Youtube clip has a £10,000 bounty on his head thanks to furious animal activists.

Hard to lose sleep over this, after all a squirrel is just a rat with a bushy tail.
I despise cruelty to animals in any form, so I am not losing sleep the bounty on this guy’s head. I happen to like squirrels, although I know full well why farmers don’t think much of them.
It’s like watching an adult steal a lollipop from a kid, it isn’t the value of the lollipop that is key, is is what you have learned about that person, that gives you the willies.
Actions have consequences.
The world would be a better place if the consequences had teeth.
As it is said;
“You kill in jest but the beast dies in earnest.”.
Qualifying which *kind* of animal is okay to torture walks perilously close to the ongoing issue of “what life is”.
Life is, simply life.
Go look up the muzzie beating the puppy with a stick because “it’s just a dog” and then get back to me.
They look like they may be very close personal friends.
In reality ethical hunters and most of us are ethical, are their best friends, particularly to deer, fish and birds. Here in Texas the Texas Wildlife and Game Commission surveys the wildlife every year and determine how many deer, birds and fish should be taken each and every year. The survey determines what is the ideal population and how many should be taken each year to obtain the best balance. Hunters are the balance, otherwise the game goes through a cycle of over population and thus starvation and death.
We hunters and fisherman also pay big bucks on our purchases of hunting and fishing gear. These bucks go to the Texas Wild Life Commision to manage hunting and fishing, and this is good.
The most reprehensible are those who are most cruel to the most defenseless. But this thread will devolve into bacon.
Somebody help these people to get a grip. What next? Outlawing and confiscating all flyswatters. Eric Holder using the Department of bleepin Justice to prosecute, maybe even execute all CEOs of pest exterminators? “End the torture! This is not the America I know!”
It was a totally juvenile and cruel act IMO. As a conservative who hunts I don’t like to see animals of any kind abused...I respect animal life and when its pests invading my home etc..then dispatch them humanely and quickly. Don’t get pleasure or find humor in it. Its just a dumb move and could be deeper issues with that individual.
His punishment should be to be thrown off the grand Canyon in the same spot as the squirrel went.
Of course squirrels are known to land on their feet and there are flying squirrels so perhaps all is well on Bright Angel Trail
A couple of queers getting their kicks?
What do they do to cats and dogs while home? Little kids in the neighborhood?
Put um in a rubber room...
As much as I despise squirrels, he was a jerk for that.
Much better way to kill a squirrel is with a pellet gun.
Squirrels? Not so much, they have a purpose.

The damn thing jumped, not to the next branch, but clear of the tree!
He sailed down to the ground, tracked by my eyeballs, landed with a thud, and scurried over to the oak next door and ran up the stump, chattering definite comments related to my lineage and upbringing.
Squirrel may have a long ride down, but they usually survive and the subsequent sudden impact is doable, for a squirrel. their terminal velocity is survivable.
For this particular one, he no doubt caught the "E" ticket.
Abortion is OK, but cruelty to squirrels is beyond the pale.
This clown deserves to be kicked in after the squirrel, since he evidently did it for the thrill.
Hey, Frog, how's about I get a thrill, too?
I know Gaia worshippers who won’t kill bugs.....
Some of these women end up on Naked and Afraid
Their cosmic zoology gets thrown under the bus pretty quick once hunger pangs get going
I will admit as one who murdered hundreds of squirrels....tossing one off a cliff to watch it fall is over the top
That’s what frogs are for silly frenchman
