I had a dream to begin my own firm, however I did not earn enough of money to do it. Thank God my close mate advised to utilize the credit loans. So I used the financial loan and made real my dream.

Relocating wild animals is against the law in Ohio. That’s why animal control companies have to kill them on site when they come to your house. They all have dunk tanks in the back of their trucks – a fact they don’t tell people about. Drowning is the safest and fastest way to kill squirrels. Poison is slow and agonizing. Gas is actually similar from the squirrels point of view, but is dangerous for the human. Did with breaking the neck – good luck trying that and not getting bit. Even if you broke the law and relocated the squirrel, they can find their way back up to, and possibly over, 15 miles away! Squirrels have wreaked havoc in our house and no contractor has been able to get rid of them. Given squirrel love or my family’s safety, I choose my family. Find some chewed through wire above your bedroom and you’ll switch sides pretty fast.

When a hawk catches a rodent, squirrels included, they rip out their intestines while the rodent is still fully conscious. Drowning it would be far more humane by comparison. I’m trying to catch a squirrel that’s in my friends house. I might gas it using good ole chlorine but i will probably just throw it in the middle of the lake by my school at night. If the vermin doesn’t drown or becomes a mid night snack for nearly 50 gators that call the lake home…then i wont mess with it again. ORRRR I could always rip out its intestines, after all its only natural. = ) Happy Hunting

“Remember, while you are given dominion over animals, it does not entitle yo to treat with disrespect.”

Speaking for God, are you?

“All living things have the right to be treated humanely. Those who do not respect this with animals can not be trusted to respect the lives of humans.”

Your logic is squirrely. The truth is often the opposite. People who are too enamored of animals usually try to give them more rights than they give to humans. This is because they are unable to form mature relationships with people and must form them with beings whose “love” they imagine to be unconditional.

Ithaca, you are right. Whether rats with a bushy tail are ugly or not doesn’t make it right for them to be drowned. I still thinks hilarious

He did not have to drown the squirrels. There are laws against it for a reason; it is cruel. Whether one likes the an animal or not does not give one the right to needlessly destroy it. Remember, while you are given dominion over animals, it does not entitle yo to treat with disrespect. All living things have the right to be treated humanely. Those who do not respect this with animals can not be trusted to respect the lives of humans.

“What’s the difference if you trap rats with cheese and snap their brittle necks when they come to take a bite?”

Big one, breaking the neck is about as quick and painless a death there could be, arguably better than poison. Drowning is not a quick and humane death. The facts is he did not have to kill these squirrels. He already had them under control in a trap. All he had to do was release them into the woods somewhere far enough away from his house so they wouldn’t come back.

As more powerful beings, we have an obligation to treat animals with respect and dignity. Simply because you can do something does not make it moral or just.
