I've been mulling over this thread. The idea of the squirrel being killed is something I find mildly upsetting. But I suspect had it been a rat we were discussing; I probably wouldn't have found the idea so upsetting. I have no idea why that'd be the case; because I quite like rats as creatures, as long as they don't make their presence felt in my home.
I guess I just don't think of squirrels as 'vermin'.
