Re: Garden pests and control

**"* <t*@earthlink.net>**

In almost all places, if "you contact the Humane Society, or the local or 
state game commission," they'll come and get your live rabbit, chipmunk, 
squirrel, woodchuck, skunk, possum, coon or whatever....and then they'll 
promptly kill it. If you're gonna go that route, might as well just kill 'em 
yourself.

PS. Duane....what's your street address?
