Yes, that is how life works. I have a fence around my garden/orchard. It is tall enough to keep the deer out, electrified to keep the bears out, netted to keep

Yes, that is how life works. I have a fence around my garden/orchard. It is tall enough to keep the deer out, electrified to keep the bears out, netted to keep the birds out - but ground squirrels leave me no choice but to eliminate them from the area. If they would stay away, I wouldn't have to "murder" them. At least they don't go to waste, there are plenty of hungry things out there to move them up the food chain!
