Alright, I'll be the first to say it: Bored kids entertaining themselves by abusing animals. Hilarious.
I am not so sure this would kill them. I have run them over in my car and they bounce right back. I also have seen them fly 40 feet and land on there feet. Pretty resiliant creatures IMO.. Now if you Skeet shot them and used a shot gun then you might better your chances of a Kill...
LOL, I had to view it here. http://rjdudley.com/media/squirrel_launcher.wmv Those tree rats are vermin,,, no natural enemies left,,, even the Pereguine Falcons we have here are too lazy to chase them,,, Falcons now survive on road kill. (sad) We need to reduce their population! (Can you say black plague.) Do you prefer Rat Poison or Rat Launcher?
There is no way that this would kill them. Why, just yesterday I shot one out of a potato gun and he loved it. Squirrels have a hell of a sense of humor.
Funny, you think it is sick to kill pests? Tell you what, I'll stop using traps in my grain elevators so you can eat rat droppings. (You limeys take the cake,,, no wonder you don't have any food.) See proof; In the UK; The Pests Act 1954 makes it an offence to use a spring trap for the purposes of killing or taking animals in England and Wales other than one approved by an Order of the Secretary of State.
If you want to kill pests, do it the right way. This is probably some sick people thinking it's fun to fling a squirrel. Can't you see we are talking about completely 2 different issues here??
You mean like,, lethal injection...But first, we have to adopt a, Pests Bill of Rights.. maybe your House of Commons would like to tackle that. BTW (No rat launcher here yet... We prefer 10-22 sub machine guns in the wild west.) Hey Rocky, "Watch me pull a Rat out of my hat." Image Unavailable, Please Login
Well I guess I'm sick, cuz I think it's hilarious!! I think those that DON'T think it's funny need to LIGHTEN UP!!! It's a frickin squirrel...a pest...a varmint...an overgrown rat....an animal that gets into things on a person's private property that they shouldn't. Do you kill ants at home with poison? You do!?!? THAT IS CRUEL AND DISCUSTING!! Have you ever killed a mouse with a conventional mouse trap? I have news for you, often the mice live for a long time before dying unless it breaks their necks immediately. If the squirrels did die, they died in NO MORE barbarically a way than the aforementioned animal traps. Get off your soap box and get a sense of humor.
actually this is kind of a funny statement...sick in a video-squirrel-flying way, but funny non the less.
Cool. I wonder if I can make a bigger one to fling those stupid deer that keep running into everybodys cars.
Go to P & R to plead your case of animal cruelty and leave the laughing to the rest of us that like to have fun in life.
If you don't understand the difference between pest control and having a laugh at flinging a squirrel (and you obviously don't), then there's no point in continuing the discussion. We just have totally different opinions. What I'm saying is something you just wouldn't understand and what you are saying is something I don't understand. That's all I can say.
Think its you guys that need to lighten up, freedom of speech and all that sh1te! Squirrels over here are not seen as pests, in fact the complete opposite as often residents put out nuts etc for them to feed on. They are certainly not overgrown rats however i do understand that we live in different cultures. You guys can just lift up your pillows, choose one of ten shotguns/pistols/rifles and blow the thing away, probably a bit mpre instantaneous than smashing its body off branches/trees etc.
