I used to shoot squirrels with a 20 gauge. Just saying.

But they werenβt tamed pets.
Oh π I honestly don't know why people are talking about killing squirrels. I've been gone and off of the Internet most weekend per usual.

I see that. I'm reading this now. I don't use anything but Nostr so I am not aware of random people's pets having Instagram or TikTok accounts. That's very sad a pet was killed though. IMO, this is why you don't advertise having wild animals as pets though. Keep to yourself.
Careful, this could get you cancelled right now.
Y tho?
Small game season.
Squirrel meat is delicious
Iβm not joking
Not a go to, but it has its place.
I have a friend that set up a trap, and caught squirrels daily. He got a bit sick of squirrel meat after a while, but it started well.
Agree. I think. I don't really remember it. It's been 30 years since I had it.
Food
Our neighbor relocated about 40 squirrels. She maintained a neighborhood leaderboard of red, black, grey and brown squirrels. Once the city found out, they threatened to fine her big time.
Damn. That's a lot of squirrels.
Yeah, we had an infestation. It was really bad.
My grandfather used to shoot them with a .22 after a squirrel broke into his house, are peanuts that were in the counter, a shit all over their living room.
We had an infestation in the attic of our house. The strategy to get rid of them were dehydrating treats and a one-way exit outside.
I did that once when I was 12, at point-blank range, while bird hunting, and have never shot a living thing, save for a mercy killing, since. I had other means of food at the time. In a survival situation, things could be different, but I didn't have to do that, and I still regret it.
At point blank range I'm sure there was nothing left of that poor squirrel.
Once upon a time I came home from elementary to my great grandmother (born during the Great depression), I smelled something delicious, I put my bagged down and quickly rushed to the kitchen like the little fat ass I was just to look in the oven to see-
A squirrel. A full fat roasted squirrel in the oven.
"They're eating the cats they're eating the dogs" and yes, the squirrels are getting eaten too.

How?! 
They are cute little guys. For sure. People also eat them too. Every animal that I've shot, I've ate.
And just like that, the right wing turns in pet lovers.
one of the best threads on Nostr currently. a lot of experience with our place in the Universe. not very political.
