I wouldn't want some neighbor walking around my yard putting down animal food either.

she's basically a crazy cat lady, but isn't restricting it to just her own house.

Don't lure pests onto other people's property.

Im generally not very accepting of kids with peanut allergies.... but this woman is going out of her way to be offensive. It is the parents responsibility to protect the child - start with shooting this loon in the head when she comes onto your property to place substances she knows might kill your child.

// Id love to show up at her place wearing squirrel fur, with squirrels on a kebab stick, then promise her I wont wear the fur in spring.

Sounds like the feeders are prime places for some quick target practice to me.

/fun fact: squirrels will explode if you use a big enough gun

What a biatch.

We had a nut job woman in the neighboring building that used to put bread out 'for the birds' every morning. Like two loaves worth. The birds she attracted were pigeons, being these are large city apartment buildings. It got so bad that the building owner finally had to evict her. The smell when it rained was sickening.

She puts out feeders full of nuts, you put out feeders full of d-CON. Problem solved.

My neighbors feed the damb tree rats, and all of our houseplants are at risk all summer as they bury their peanuts in the pots.

If I caught them trespassing in order to feed them, a lawsuit would ensue.

I enjoyed the bird feeder in our yard I filled with sunflower seeds. However, when squirrels became a problem, I immediately had to stop. I didn't want to, but feeding birds is not worth squirrels in the car chewing on things - especially if the car is a jeep with the top down. (One night the damn squirrels chewed not just through wiring for one of the headlights, but also through the boot around the e-brake and a few chomps out of the back seat. Not to mention they ate the plants in my garden.

It's too bad they are so destructive because they are fun to watch. We had a few fighting each other on the lawn, wrestling around. And I have sunflowers growing in the lawn in a few places where they stashed seeds earlier in the year.

But Richardson found out in Kettering Municipal Court Friday that she could serve up to 60 days in jail and be forced to pay a hefty fine for turning her neighborhood into a squirrel buffet.

Squirrel buffet? Is there an early bird special? How about coupons?

FTA: "But Richardson found out in Kettering Municipal Court Friday that she could serve up to 60 days in jail and be forced to pay a hefty fine for turning her neighborhood into a squirrel buffet."

She hosted a Fark party?

i will trade her for my neighbors.

I'll admit it...I have a squirrel feeder. But I have no neighbors and we don't actually get that many squirrels that come around. If her neighbor kid has a peanut allergy...why can't this crazy biatch just feed the squirrels corn?

I've heard that a sustainable population for squirrels in the wild is about one squirrel per acre. Drawing in a bunch like is not a good idea.

Could be worse.

Plus those things are quiet enough that the neighbors won't notice or complain. Just don't do it when the neighbor kids are outside. Plus people with poor aim like me won't go to jail for missing, since the pellets just wind up getting stuck in fence posts or tree limbs.

I always wanted a pet squirrel.

I live on a pecan orchard, and use the nuts for income. Squirrels are a vermin that must be eradicated. I have some old dude (preacher Don) that lives on the far side of the property that was squatting on the land when I bought it, and I made a deal with him that he could stay there if he shoots the squirrels in the orchard, which he does with great enthusiasm. Not only does he use them for meat, it is his great pastime. When he starts talking about hunting the squirrels his eyes light up and it's difficult to get him to shut up about it. Plus he's a true southern country guy, long hair, scraggly beard, scruffy clothes, bad teeth, worse accent. Think of the guy who wanted Ned Beatty to squeal like a pig in the movie Deliverance.

About ten years ago, a couple of ladies living on base housing out at Tyndall AFB decided that the squirrels on the air force base were a bother, but instead of shooting them they decided to trap them with cages and let them loose in the country---right down on the road in front of my property. When I saw what they were doing I went out and attempted to reason with them, but they were yankee ladies who think everyone from the south is stupid and they just kept right on doing it.

So one day I was doing something outside and preacher Don came over for a chat, and these two ladies drive up. I told preacher Don who they were and he got all excited and went off down there to thank them for supplying him with squirrel meat. They never came back again.

And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly 'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and stop leaving out peanuts." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" And I said, "Feeding the squirrels." And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench.

varmitydog: They never came back again

now THAT is a CSB !!

If she was still doing it after police and animal control intervened, I'd start by telling her that squirrels were going to start dying if she didn't stop. Then I'd start killing the squirrels. Problem solved.

I'm not much for killing animals (except yummy cows and such), but no way I'm putting up with this.

She should do something useful, like feed bats. One of the few (sort of) common animals you can help, feed and shelter without being destructive to the environment. But bats are "scurry oh noes" so most people don't, they just help the "cute ones".

Soooo, kid, have you rehabilitated yourself??

Scofflaws like that can never be rehabilitated. Oh, sure they go on and on about how their jail time has changed them, about how they "found" Jesus and so on. They're just telling you what they think you want to hear. Lock 'em up and throw away the key I say. Society is better off without them lurking around your backyard squirrel feeder.

The squirrels in my yard sometimes have spontaneous heart attacks. Which reminds me, I need to pick up some more 177 pellets.

"And they were married...."

sprinkle the seed generously with cayenne pepper. doesn't bother birds but mammals do not like. except this mammal. also like squirrel stew.

Been wondering when I'd get a chance to use this pic

brerrabbit: Squirrel snares are incredibly easy to make. If you play guitar, you already have some. Twist a high E or B string into a fairly tight loop by the ring at the end. Feed the wire through the loop. Twist a little flat spot into the wire for a detante that holds the snare open into a four inch circle but will allow the snare to shut if disturbed.

lean a 2x4 against a tree at an inviting angle and screw 3 or 4 snares to it in such a way that the squirrels head will enter it if they run up the board.. Squirrels are lazy and will keep using the shortcut even if a few of their buddies are hanging from it.

That sounds a bit too disturbing for me. Generally lynching squirrels is a good sign that someone isn't eaxctly the picture of mental health.

Squirrel Cobbler

2 squirrels, cut into pieces
2 cups water
2 cups white wine
1 bay leaf
3 carrots sliced
2 onions sliced
3 cloves
2 1/3 cups Bisquick
5 Tb. butter
5 Tb. flour
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
thyme
1 cup heavy cream
12 baby onions
1-2 Tb. melted butter

Put the squirrel pieces, water, white wine, bayleaf, onion, and
cloves in a saucepan. Bring ingredients to boil, cover and
simmer for an hour.

Remove the squirrel pieces and set aside. Strain the liquid.
Hold aside. Save the vegetables but toss the cloves and bay
leaf. Cut the squirrel into 1 inch chunks. Make a Bisquick
shortcake dough ball according to the box directions. Leave out
the sugar.

Heat the butter and flour in a saucepan, stir in the milk,
squirrel broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook slowly until it
thickens.
Stir in the salt, pepper, and thyme. Add the cream. Heat, but
do not boil.

Layer sauce, meat and carrots in a casserole dish. Add the small
onions. Add remaining sauce.

Knead your crust dough and pat it out larger than your dish. Lay
it on top of your ingredients. Brush with butter. Bake for 30
minutes at 450 degrees or until crust is brown.

Serves 6

Squirrels, like most every other animal in the world are perfectly capable of feeding themselves without anyone's help.

Also, feeding feral cats only worsens the problem.

My grandmother insists on feeding suburban foxes. Gets them used to humans, they lose their fear, and the guy down the street pots 'em with an air pistol at 5 yards. New mating pair moves in next year, breeds...lather rinse repeat.

Can't make her see it's a bad idea. Maybe you can send Preacher Don my way?

The farking neighbors have a pool, so yes, so I won't shoot if they are out in the pool. But I do live in a rural area, so gunshots are not uncommon, especially living 4 miles from a gun club that does skeet and trap shooting 3-4 evenings a week.

Mine is scoped, so I can easily give the little varmits lead poisoning from 75 - 100 feet away.
