Why would any sane person get joy out of watching living creatures be killed?

They are pests.

Pests will not go away voluntarily.

It is too expensive to catch and relocate pests in those numbers.

What would you suggest to help reduce the farmer's crop losses and food adulteration?

I'm not saying you shouldn't rid your home of pests....but to get pleasure out of killing them....?

Yeah. I enjoy seeing them jump when hit by the pellet and then see them spasmodically wriggle around until their involuntary nerve signals lose their juice and at that point I know the critter can steal and destroy no more.

We all have our naughty little pleasures.

That is mine.

What's yours?
 
How's this for pest control?



I couldn't really get a sensation of anything happening to the squirrel at all.

In fact, It took me a couple of replays before I could even spot the little guy.
 
Yep........ 100% born and raised American. .... :eusa_angel:
And yet...
There is no "And yet" about it.

As much as you hate it.

My religion doesn't make me a 2nd class citizen.

I get 1 vote per issue at the ballot box the same as you.

Deal with it......... :cool-45:


Oh, I'm stewing about it but I'm dealing with it as best as I can.

Would you mind if I bring my flea infested relatives to your home?

Not ALL of them have fleas, mind you, just SOME of them.

Which ones? We don't know.

Or I won't divulge.

In any event, I want you to welcome us to your home for an extended stay.

Fleas and all!

Okay?

A REALLY considerate person wouldn't even subject his hosts to such a potential liability unless spreading fleas is what he had in mind to start.

Get the message?

I'm not judging...I'm sure I laugh at things I shouldn't find funny.

"I'm not judging"

Sure you are. But no prob; that's what we do.
 
When I was a young kid.

My friends and I would take our .22 rifles to a nearby farmers field and shoot prairie dogs.

Prairie dog communities are always in the middle of a short grass barren field with no trees or bushes for cover. So you have to approach them with the sun at your back early in the morning. And then crawl on your stomach in order to get into firing position. There are always one or two prairie dogs standing upright on their hind legs, on top of the mound next to their entrance hole, watching for predators. And they will alert the entire community of you get too close and they spot you sneaking towards them.

When you shot one prairie dog. The other's would all run and go into their hiding holes in the ground. But in a few minutes a couple of prairie dogs would come out of their holes and try to retrieve their fallen comrade. That's when you would shoot another prairie dog. And the hide and seek shooting game would start all over again.

It was great fun and the farmers/ranchers were really happy to have someone ridding his property of these destructive pests. ...... :cool-45:

.


we shoot the prairie dog out here too

however instead of the regular 22

we hop it up a bit with the 22/250

--LOL
 
I grew up in the wide open plains of the southwest.

We use a 22/250 rifle when hunting coyote.

Where you need the fast bullet speed and flat trajectory to bring down a running coyote.

Because rats are "Lebensunwertes Leben".

And you are saying it does not apply pretty well to rats, or, just educating the uneducated?

I don't shoot coyotes unless they are raiding my watermelons.

Anything that eats rats is a friend of mine.

I don't kill snakes other than water moccasins for the same reason.

Only a few of those fleas might carry the bubonic plague or hantavirus.

No biggie.

Yup. I'm very thoughtful that way.

Yeah, the real expensive ones that people cannot afford with the high Obamacare deductibles.
 
There are two kinds of people on USMB, but I wouldn't sort them according to their attraction or lack thereof to pest control videos.

The proper way to sort USMB is into those members who understand the proper use of an apostrophe and those who don't.

I'm careful to pay attention to that sort of thing.

But if I flubbed it please show me.

Would you point out the typo?

You are personalizing my comment. It was not due to anything you posted. It is My POV based on years (or, to some "year's") of observation on this board.

Yes. I sometimes feel some degree of despair at the lowering of the bar. There are soooo many little "Grammar or Spelling Nazi" offenses in our young people that it makes me sad.
