I congratulate you on successfully using a Mercurian astrophysics anomaly to transition into squirrel homicide.Homicide is a term reserved specifically to humans.
IOW, you can't murder an animal. You can kill it, but it's not considered homicide.

Peanut the Squirrel was anthropomorphized even before he was killed. So in the context of illustrating absurdity, the loose use of exact diction is understandable.
