last week i found a red squirrel sitting ontop of my chicken coop. i nervously opened the door to let the birds out. that rodent was about 3 feet from my head. it wouldnt move. it would just sit up and watch me. i had visions of that monty python rabbit chewing my head off..i left it alone. i kept checking on it. sometimes it would look dead, and i would try to sweep it up into a shovel for a quick disposal. it would always sit up and stare at me. i dont own a pellet rifle yet. so it was a waiting game.
finally, i came out and it was laying on the ground. i guess it had an injury. i had to hit in in the head with a piece of rebar. it was difficult to do. but i had to put it out of whatever injury/misery it had. wow.
i would kill one out of my house with little regret. but outside..they get a pass. and all my birdseed apparently.
