Humanely killed rodents?

[SueEllen]

Watched summit on TV a few days ago ago the huge damage grey squirrels do to tree bark. Can't say I've ever noticed it meself.

The ones in London only eat tree bark if they can't get bin left overs.

An unmarked police car approached me one night during lockdown as I was releasing mice from humane traps out in the countryside.

They informed me that animal welfare was a legitimate reason to be out of the house and let me go about my business.

Darn silly. Like the whining for the guy who stuffed his cat who'd died of natural causes and turned it into a drone.

**** PETA. They are blithering imbeciles of the highest order.
I can't abide cruelty to animals, but PETA are not helping any cause with their screeching hysterical nonsense.

Squirrels - at least, the grey ones - are a destructive pest that damage trees and native Reds. The more that are removed from the habitat the better AFAIC. If PETA are freaking out then (a) that probably means someone's doing it right and(b) there are plenty more greys out there, just they are in their native habitat in North America, from where they were brought here in the late 1800s.

As for the ethics of packing beer in dead animals, well that's a whole different matter!
