Rich, you have to see this.

Don't sound negative. Have you ever had a squirrel on your deck? I think this is where Jeff Foxworthy comes in.
 
They are very clever. I'm not sure about animal cruelty, because no one forces the squirrel to do whatever causes the launch, but I am not sure it wouldn't be considered animal cruelty by some people.

I'm calling it animal cruelty. Would you do that to your puppy or kitty?

Nope. I would not do it to a squirrel either. But I know rural people often regard squirrels as cute vermin. And I know dedicated bird feeders often do too. So I realize that some would see it as animal cruelty and some wouldn't. My father used to shoot squirrels & rabbits to keep them out of his mother's garden as a boy. Then he fed them to the dogs & cats his family kept as pets. So I am a little ambivalent about squirrels. I would not take action against them myself, but I see them a little differently from pets.
 
Even if rabbits, squirrels, possums or raccoons are vermin, they still get covered under cruelty laws? So you can trap or despatch them but not cause undue suffering?

Yep and would you also do it to our Wade? Seeing an Aging man flying through the air trying to hold on to his beer would be a sad scene.

OK, first off, there is not enough rubber band on this planet to launch me and my beer across the room. So that ain't gonna happen. But, if you do construct such a devise and will provide the beer, I'll give it a try.

For those who are offended by squirrel launching, I promise not to laugh while they are in flight.

LOL careful what you say, I may hold you up on that.. hmmmm. Are you going to Daytona?? Lori, bring the Beer.

 
LOL, well I eat squirrel during certain times of the year if I am back visiting my uncle, and yes, they are basically tree rats to those of us who's horse feed they tend to raid. I have seen these video's before and they are pretty funny... You could call me mean for thinking so, but then again, you are talking to someone who used to set up all sorts of traps for the raccoons, rats, rabbits,opossums, and squirrels that used to eat his feed/crops/chickens. some Humane others not so much...

And I am pretty sure that those squirrels weren't hurt too much. Have you ever seen one fall out of the top of a hundred foot pine? I have, and he ran off like nothing happened...
 
There's a difference between shooting a squirrel that is decimating your bamboo crop and slinging it through the air and possibly breaking but not killing it.
