Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Depends where you live. Wild animals, we called local animal control about a opossum we'd caught in a cat trap (trying to catch a local stray cat) wanting to know what they wanted us to do with it. and they let us know about the felony we were about to admit to committing and did we want to shut the fuck up. Apparently we needed a license to trap wild animals. So telling your local animal control after the fact isn't in your best interests, but they could provide guidance before the fact. If you're in Washington State, you leave those (just put on the local endangered list) western gray squirrels the fuck alone.
You just gotta add a sign that says "Warning: trapping wild animals without a license is illegal. This trap is for feral cats only. Any wild animals found in this trap will be shot on sight."
Ah yes because boilerplate warnings always hold up in court against attractive nuisances or whatever they'll decide that is
Holy cow. I live in Oregon and there are at least 50 western gray squirrels just around my house. There are tons along the river by our house too. I didn't know they are endangered in Washington. How weird, considering we're neighboring states (although there is a huge river between us).
OMG!!!!!!!, A FUCKIN YEET CANNON ACROSS THE RIVER!
be the problem you want to solve

I think their habitats got hit hard by the fires this year. Not entirely sure. I'm not a squirrelologist
I'm pretty sure it's the Eastern grey's around the house. Not endangered in the slightest. [https://myodfw.com/wildlife-viewing/species/squirrels-chipmunks-and-marmots](Western grey squirrels have no brown color at all and are bigger. Don't think I've ever seen one.)
I'm quite familiar with the eastern gray, and these aren't those, as the tails are much fluffier and also grayer as well as not having any yellow highlights like the eastern. And they're all big boys. Some of them could be eastern but lord either way, there are a lot of squirrels here.
I guess you're just lucky :)
They taunt my dogs constantly, which they love so they're certainly happy. But they wake me up running around on my roof so me not so much.
In Australia there are different species which are endangered or plentiful.
