We have a big problem with ground squirrels. They eat our fruit and anything we plant in our garden. They destroy irrigation and dig expansive burrows.

Unfortunately that means we have to trap and kill them. 😢

It’s gruesome, but it’s the most human and least harmful to other animals (poison, for instance, ends up in the ecosystem and kills other critters).

I know probably nobody wants to read this, but I had to let it out. I had to share it. Sorry.
@AaronLMGoodwin it was hard to read but I’m sure it was harder to live. Thank you for sharing it.
