I do most of my own automobile work, and they've cost me over a grand just for wiring harness pigtails and vacuum hoses and what not on my vehicles over the last several years. Actually...ever since they stoled my woods.Different strokes for different folks. I have them eating out of my hands. I when I was young I used to shoot everything in sight. Not anymore!

Their cousins The Chipmunks burrowed under my front stoop so much it finally collapsed and cost me $1400.00 for a new pour.
I have no love for rodents. Yeah, they're 'cute'. But they can shell a black walnut with their teeth. To me, it's not about killing anything that moves - I shot a red winged blackbird when I was about 13, and ran over to watch it slowly die. It hurt me inside to know that I had done that to an animal that had caused me no harm or threat, even at that young age.
Unless I was eating it, I've never killed another animal since that day.
Except rodents.
P.S. Don't feed them yellow peanut M&M's. They'll mistake your thumb for it and bite you. Don't ask how my dumb 6 or 7 year old self learned that at Busch Gardens in the early '60's.
