I had a seabright do the same to me then my wife I did not hesitate to dispatch it not with a .22 but with a 12 gauge wasn't worried about saving the meat but I hunt all the time for squirrels the .22 will not harm anyone consuming the meat usually will pass through the bird with no residue. Meat on a bird might be damaged but not excessive just try to shoot at upper body to avoid organ contamination
