You'd do much better to get a catch alive trap for squirrels. Fenn traps

I'd rather let the fenn trap kill the animal than capture it live and
have to look it in the eye and kill it myself. I'm just a great big

Aaah. Now you have to examine your conscience. There is no difference in
setting a Fenn trap or killing it yourself except you excuse yourself and
pretend you didn't do it if the Fenn trap gets it.

I believe the live-capture traps are recommended where
there are other species (red squirrels in particular) that you don't
want to kill. The only other animals likely to get into my trap are
rats, and they're fair game.

We believe that if we kill something, it must be done cleanly and if edible,
(ie not rats) we eat it,

I shoot, but I can't guarantee a clean kill, so only David shoots live
things.
