The Coolest Squirrel Catapault You’ll See All Day

Is it mean?  I don’t know, but it sure is funny.

I wish I was smart enough to think up stuff like that.

I am no animal rights activist, I don’t think animals are human, yet this was an incredibly cruel thing to do to a poor squirrel!


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Neiman, rest assured that the squirrel is just fine.  They have a larger ratio of area to mass, and hence they have a lower “terminal velocity” in air.  They also have a better impact robustness than big critters like us, so with the same speed on impact, they’re less likely to “break.”

To draw a picture, it’s said that you could drop a mouse from the top of the Empire State building, and it’d be fine...unless a hawk got to it on the way down.  Same basic principle with squirrels.  Cats are supposed to be good to about 11 stories up.

People?  Not so good.

As a non-fan of tree rats, I approve of this non-lethal method of moving them away from plants, flowers, porches, etc.

I laughed at and felt sorry for the squirrel.

It’s a confusing contradiction.

Why the border fence won’t work.

and

isn’t this the profile of fledgling serial killers? First they torture small animals.

and

can you shoot the squirrels at
pigeons with any accuracy.

Make that the ONLY squirrel catapult I’ll see all day…

I think the squirrel was just fine, I was kinda hoping it would hit that tree......


I think Rob hates me… I mean, just look at the pic he took of me!
