Nasty vicious squirrels ravaged my sunflowers.
They climbed up, piercing the stems with their sharp claws and infecting the plants with all manner of parasites and recklessly breaking off leaves.
Then they gnawed the flower heads a bit before decapitating the plants in a flurry of bites fueled by hateful rage.
The squirrels ate every seed and mortally wounded all of my beautiful sunflower plants. I had to pull them out.
WAR
My dog killed two of them by biting and shaking them. I shot one with a BB gun, which incapacitated it, then followed it up with an axe to the neck. One of the eyes popped out. But ultimately it's like 2 marines versus 10000 zerglings. There's just too many squirrels.

I don't think so... Why not invite a few cars over? They always seem to take care of squirrels, at least the ones around here.

Dude, that's like taking out a single zergling with a half dozen scarabs.

No, he means cars, running over squirrels, a few tons of metal running into something is probably get rid of it.

pest control is perfectly legal in the States, so long as it is not a protected species
Gunmakers devote an entire marketing section towards "varmint" guns just for the task, though a air powered BB or pellet gun is more than enough for squirrels.

Now that you mention it... cats might work too. They always seem to get at my fish though, screw those cats!
A squirrel randomly running across the street with good timing from a car usually does the trick.

I agree, I love watching them play tag in the park outside my house!

It shouldn't be, it's awful. To brag about it is kind of sickening, why would you brag about mutilating an animal? "It's eye popped out" That's just disturbing.

Why would you admit to this? This is terrible and you shouldn't be proud. A squirrel is still a living breathing creature and doesn't know any better to go into your flowers.
Pathetic.

Squirrels are so cute...why in the world would you kill one like that. Just lay some seeds or even get some feeder and put it elsewhere than your yard and have them eat from that.

It's actually better than the alternative where he lets it starve to death from the original wound.

Well, it's legal, they are considered pest animals in many locations, and it's eating his food items/possessions. Unless he claims to be vegan this is perfectly within his moral grounds to do. I wouldn't personally want to kill squirrels, but it's not much different than spraying pesticide on the fruits you buy from the grocery store.
Do you ONLY eat organic food? If not, you're killing living, breathing things to have more convenient meals. Even then, you're eating the food they could eat to live; you are killing things by eating.

Why does he have to shoot them?

Your argument is so illogical, he's not killing these squirrels to eat them, he's killing them because they're eating his flowers. They're eating his flowers because the flowers are in their habitat and are an available food source.
As well as, he's not growing the sunflowers because he's dependent on them for food, he's either growing them to snack on the seeds or for the visual appeal. Now, if you're trying to imply it's right to kill the squirrels because they eat his flowers, would you kill your neighbor's dog if it trampled your flowers?
