I wrote that mostly for humor value, although the nonchalantness did come across a little harsh. In all seriousness though, I like innocent animals, and I hate guilty ones. For example...the pigeons walking across my path go kick-free. However, mice found rummaging through my food get capital punishment (although not gleeful rock smashing). Squirrels in my attic would be murdered in their sleep if I got the chance, that sounds damned annoying. I think chewing through the wiring harness of a car is a sufficient crime to warrant the punishment, I just wonder if you could have gotten him out with a hose or something.
