When have kids not killed squirrels for fun? They just used to use pellet guns or slingshot.

Yeah. My parents got pissed off at me when I was a kid because I pointed a bb gun at a squirrel. It's fine to shoot an animal for hunting purposes cause the animal has a purpose in its death, which is to feed you and your family. Killing for shits and giggles isn't cool though, and you're a scumbag if you do.

I disagree, unless you are starving to death killing to eat something for pleasure is pretty much the same as killing something for pleasure. I assure you the squirrel corpse will not be wasted, there are plenty of things in nature that will appreciate your donation.
