I bet to a squirrel, I look like a monster. Squirrels always act so freaked out when they get too close to people. I cut down trees for a couple summers during highschool, I killed a lot of squirrels, bats, birds, possums and whatever else lives in trees. If I were to describe how I threw a handful of baby squirrels into a running wood chipper, I may look like a monster to some of you. I bet I look like a monster to fish too.
The squirrels fell safely to the ground through a large slot in the chipper before the blades could hurt them. This 'slot' is there to make sure someone doesn't accidentaly feed a couple rocks into the chipper. You see, baby squirrels require alot of care, and can not survive on their own. I have friends who have raised baby squirrels into adulthood and set them free, I know. So the only humane thing to do is kill them as quickly as possible and get back to work. I stomped about 6 baby squirrels to death beneath my boots-they were squealing and everything. That was only one time.
