88, I'd probably wound you shooting at your squirrel.

Is that a squirrel in your crotch or are you just happy to see me?

I dunno skuzzy....

seems a bit abusive to the animal to me. The little rodent might have survived but the slingshot routine is being performed strictly for human pleasure. By allowing this thread to continue you appear to support this type of abuse. Not that I really care, its your gig here afterall....not mine.

Im just trying to make a point and state my opposition to cruelty to animals, especially for the sole purpose of amusement for humans. Being against animal cruelty is a simple position to hold and not at all difficult to stand by.

Is my reply now in violation of any rules?

We will see

That's just wrong.

Only a Grade A Hick would get amusement out of that.

(Which I trust many of you will take as an extreme compliment

)

I can't use a shotgun in the middle of town, I catch enough heat over the air rifle. They have learned to avoid the live traps.

I'm a firm believer in eating what you kill & not killing just for sport, but my reasons are purely defense of property, I wouldn't eat a burglar that broke into my house & destroyed it either; but I would launch him 200 feet into the air because he wouldn't survive it like squirrels will. Don't kid yourself, those boogers are tough as nails. I saw one dive off a 300 FT. tall cable TV tower we were working on from about halfway up, he hit the ground & ran off, climbed up a little persimmon tree in the middle of the lot & started barking at us.

Any tree huggers that want to save the rats around my place, come on over! I'll hold fire while you gather them up. As soon as spring comes & I fix this winters damage I'm putting peanut butter on some super strong rat poison blocks my exterminator friend gave me. Let the little pests crawl into the neighbors walls & die if they like them so much & don't want me to shoot them.

Overview

Psychological studies have shown that individuals who take pleasure in inflicting harm on animals are more likely to do so to humans. This should not be confused with people who simply kill or harm animals for practical purposes (such as food, lab experiment, animal husbandry). One of the known warning signs of certain psychopathologies, including anti-social personality disorder, also known as psychopathic personality disorder, is a history of torturing pets and small animals, a behavior known as zoosadism. According to the New York Times, "[t]he FBI has found that a history of cruelty to animals is one of the traits that regularly appears in its computer records of serial rapists and murderers, and the standard diagnostic and treatment manual for psychiatric and emotional disorders lists cruelty to animals a diagnostic criterion for conduct disorders. [1] "A survey of psychiatric patients who had repeatedly tortured dogs and cats found all of them had high levels of aggression toward people as well, including one patient who had murdered a young boy." [2]

Cruelty to animals is one of the three components of the MacDonald Triad, indicators of violent antisocial behavior in children and adolescents. According to the studies used to form this model, cruelty to animals is a common (but not with every case) behavior in children and adolescents who grow up to become serial killers and other violent criminals.

It has also been found that animal cruelty in children is frequently committed by children who have witnessed or been victims of abuse themselves. In two separate studies cited by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), roughly one-third of families suffering from domestic abuse indicated that at least one child had hurt or killed a pet.

I took care of a squirrel once. It was a flying squirrel. The little guy was small and I thought it was a baby. My cats where playing with it until it would die. At first I thought it was a mouse. Then I looked at it and saw that it was a squirrel. I was like COOL! Now I'm up and close with one. I took it inside, put it in a show box, and later saw that it had flaps of skin on the side of it. Then I put my fingers under the flaps and saw that it was a flying squirrel. I took care of it for about a week, then gave it to a lady who took care of squirrels. The little guy was cute. I liked taking care of it. After that all the squirrels were crazy about me.

I went to a park to take some pictures of a family portrait for my grandmothers. This squirrel was in front of me and instead of running away, the little bugger ran up to me about 2 feet. He wouldn't get any closer. He ran up a tree and was standing on the trunk looking down at me. I pick up a nut and showed it to him. He came back down about 2 feet and stopped. I thought it was pretty amazing. He wouldn't come down, so I just put the nut on a rock and left him alone. He ran back up, then came back down and stayed around us for awhile. I like to hunt, but I don't like to exacute an animal for pleasure. There to dam cute. When its for food, its for food. Hmmmmm goody in my tummy. That video was funny I have to say, but also made me sad. I know for sure that squirrel landed in the tree, and told his buddies, gatta try the new free fair ride

good friend of mine and I were shooting off fireworks in the woods once. (used to buy toy guns, and duct tape fireworks to 'em and hold wars. was a blast, but another story)

My friend saw a squirrel run up a vine. He walked up to it and shook the vine violently. Small branches, leaves, and bark rained down on him, but no squirrel. Wondering if it got away, he looked up the vine......

JUST in time to catch a face full o' squirrel.

The little bugger about a foot above his face when he looked up, spread eagle, and pissed.

The little rat landed on his face, scratched the heck out of him, and ran off.

From that day forward, he killed every squirrel he saw. I have seen him give countless lawn jobs to his neighbors in his truck going after a squirrel running across their yard.
