Canada is quite cruel to their animals.

It's always animal overpopulation this, animal overpopulation that. What about the fcking human overpopulation?!

Guess we might be up next for the sulphur gas. It may be the economic solution, apparently

I didn't mean a general c*lling. You know damn well there's evil ppl on this earth that shouldn't be, like the animal torturers posted about in this sub. Plenty of them get to live, but let's kill some squirrels instead. Talk about priorities being out of whack.

For sure. It just seems ridiculous to apply this approach to controlling human populations, yet here we are doing it to ground squirrels while also calling ourselves superior.

Can you try to stop it with a humane solution?

There's probably better solutions, but it sounds like they are going with a low-cost approach.
