Squirrel Catapult is Awful, Yet We Can't Look Away

Posted by Seamus Byrne at 5:45 AM on June 20, 2007
We've shown you some kind-of-mean anti-squirrel apparatuses in the past, but this one takes it to the next level. Animal rights people, don't bitch at us, we didn't do it, we just laughed at it. A lot. Reaction from the family, after the jump.

When I visited my mate in Nebraska earlier this year she couldn't really get how I thought squirrels were cute. Just an outsiders perspective I guess. She said almost everyone sees them as a pest over there. Our possums in Australia are cute as and also extremely annoying especially if they get into your roof and decide to set up camp there. I wouldn't resort to a catapault however to solve the problem.
I read gizmodo every day almost religiously. Funny or not I really don't think gizmodo should have posted this video. Cruelty to animals should not be applauded.

Gizmodo your idiots for putting this video online. Animal cruelty is a crime.
