Mice, rats, moles, voles, snakes, lizards, opossums and basically anything that can not be classed as cute, harmless or otherwise inoffensive.

But definitely not babies.

Does that clarify my position?

Yes, and we definitely concur on the babies.

For the other, I’m not sure why “cute” disqualifies a small critter from being part of the food chain...harmless, inoffensive or otherwise. For example, there is great sentiment out in California to protect the cougars who very much consider puppies and other pets as lunch, not to mention the occasional jogger. Yet you go to jail for shooting one. Puppies, by implication, are the preferred sacrifice.

People are a funny lot.
