Squirrels can be very tasty when cooked properly. We shot them and ate
them during WW-2 when meat was almost non-existent. I seem to remember
my parents cooking them with sassafras root and other local herbs.
We seem to have a balance of nature which controls the squirrel and
varmint population around here since a pair of foxes periodically
"harvest" the squirrels, rabbits, mice, and seem to chase away the
raccoons and possums, at least temporarily. We sometimes hear the
rabbits squeal when the foxes make a killing.

TIP: Deoxit D5 seems to be a remarkable cleaner and (lubricator?) for
locks. I thought I had stripped the first lock on which I used it
because the key turned so easily. It's long term effect remains to be seen.

Yes. Squirrels are a nuisance but I have no interest in killing them to fix any
problems they may cause. Several years ago, I had a squirrel infestation in an
rental property. I had some pros over who all suggested using rat traps. I
didn't want any part of that. I used havahart traps, drove them ten miles away,
released them and then closed off the ingress points. Problem finally went away
and no squirrels died. Call me a pussy. I don't care.

Squirrels are VERY important. They open pine cones and bury the seeds,
bury acorns, walnuts, butternut, etc. Without squirrels, we'd have no
forests. Some misguided souls think forest fires open pine cones which
allow new pine trees to sprout and grow, but that is an old wives tale...

If we had either of those around I'm sure she'd save them.
Actually this is not the only reason we need a new vet but its a pretty
good indicator.

We had Buster at the vet last week and she asked me to donate money to
save hurt squirrels. I laughed. We need a new vet...
Yup. Our vet saves eagles and bears displaced by forest fires.
