<<BTW, hi, Jim! What the hell is so cute about a squirrel? It is a rat with a fat tail! >> When my tenderhearted son was a little boy, the sort of boy who wouldn't think of stepping on a bug (in fact would carry them to what he considered safer places), he was very disapproving of my husband's setting out rat traps. These were big rats, not mice, and I was scared to death of them, (but then I'm scared to death of teeny mice,) and the choice for my husband was essentially, They go or we move. Anyway, my son used your comparison to a different end-- he'd say, "You shouldn't be afraid of them and Popop shouldn't kill them, you should realize that they're just like squirrels, they just don't have fluffy tails...." He thought a practical solution would be to catch them and attach cute tails to each rat.
