*tap tap tap* Is this thing on?
AHEM!!
Know your enemy - little furry faces among you are committing acts of terror in your own back yard!
Squirrels: Vermin, tree eaters, rats with good PR. However cute and wily they may appear, they are still furry little terrorists.
Squirrels are, in some parts of the world, openly discriminated against. Red Squirrels are OK in Europe; Grey ones? Not so much.
Some consider them quite tasty. If only they were commercially available at my local butcher, I'd be sure to whip up a squirrel stew in my crock pot.
Poisoning squirrels is illegal in this country. Hunting, however...
Also barbequeing - totally legal.
Owls: are Natural Squirrel Predators. The Great Horned Owl, for example, has a range that pretty much covers all of North America. Including the Southwest.
And they like squirrels very much.
And so, in conclusion, I'd like to add:

Owls, falcons, mockingbirds, snakes, dogs and humans. Those squirrels are going down.
I'm still alive and kickin! Owls in New Jersey are pussies.
Rats with good PR is too kind a description for the despicable squirrel. They have no redeeming qualities - none at all.
What the hell? Did I miss something?
I'm rooting for the squirrels. ;)
My old department secretary told a story about hitting some squirrels with her car and bringing them home for dinner. And she wasn't kidding. Central Illinois is faaaaar away from Chicago.
Get a dog, they like to chase squirrels. Darn things undermined my retaining wall, ate the wiring in my truck. Didn't realize it was illegal to posion them, humm wonder what the neighbor used?
Just wanted to stop by and say "good job" yesterday.
:-)
no squirrels in Australia, just lots of poisonous things that would probably all end in jail as you say they aren't allowed to do that to them
Hey, I know I posted a comment this morning! Dang! Anyway, dahlink, thank you so much for your support in the Great Squirrel Wars of Summer '08. You be awesome! Smoooches.
I have had squirrel on a stick and it delicious.
In Ohio, it was open season on red squirrels. .22 CB was the preferred chunk of lead to send our friends into their next incarnation. They'd terrorize the fox squirrels and get into the attic wiring and destroy it. Big fire hazards.
Here in Las Vegas, no squirrels. Very little wildlife. Lots of pigeons. Can't trap or poison them either. Some, however, that decide to take over my bird feeder, end up having "industrial accidents" while on my property.
Happy Birthday, Dread Pirate!
