Put up a electric fence yesterday and came home today to a dead squirrel, hope it was the one that feasted on my garden last year.

What kind of a charger are you using. Electric fencing shouldn't kill anything.![]()
Personally, I love off topic. I did a study years ago, the results of which supported that internet threads are normally resolved in under 10 postings.
Some people seem to hate this on internet forums; I guess it offends their sense of propriety. Why this matters in an anonymous digital medium is another question.
NOTE: When I asked THAT question during my research, it was also resolved to my satisfaction within - you guessed it - 10 posts.
Now to get his back on topicI reckon there are only two reasons to trap animals around the farm hold - to eat them or to eliminate them as a threat.
Either way, their death is always effected in a quick, clean and therefore humane manner.
as top predator i think it our job to remind animals lower in the pecking order (vermin like fox, coyotes, bear, whatever else wants to mess with my livestock) who is boss. fear and death are wonderful deterrents (that's what guardian animals are for to make other animals afraid to come closer). i don't see why people are afraid to exterminate a dangerous animal. look at all the lives saved in the long run by wiping out mountain lions form the east coast the few that do remain are so afraid of people that they refuse to attack people or livestock.
top predators don't tolerate competitors in there domain and it can be good in the long run. The return of wolves to Yellowstone helped raise the pronghorn and aspen tree population where they patrol by thinning out the coyote population removed the pronghorns top predator from areas letting them rebound. and aspen tree where able to grow thanks to wolves scaring the elk out of the young aspen groves.
Yeah, we've moved on to "save the polar bears" for some reason. Remember back in the late 70's, Greenpeace went out and spray painted a bunch of seals red so their pelts were useless to hunters? The seals were easily spotted by polar bears and every one of them were eaten. Even as a 8-9 year old I saw the comical irony in the situation.While were on the subject of "Save the whatever..." has anyone besides me noticed that the save the seals movement has died out? Wanna know why?![]()
