When Squirrels Attack

If your enemy is...

"Welcome to life with squirrels during drought. With no available water to drink, the local squirrel population, which is considerable this year, has sought alternate sources of hydration, including the peach crop earlier this summer, several melons and even tomatoes from the garden — and now the apples.

After the peach debacle, I discounted someone'’s suggestion that I provide water for the wildlife that were preying on our fruit. Earlier in the season it seemed hard to imagine that the dry conditions would continue, and I feared an open water supply would not only exacerbate the mosquito problem but encourage all manner of deer, raccoon, rabbit and squirrel to stop in for a drink."

"...if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;" Pr 25:21 In this case, I would think it prudent to do so. I know that verse talks about giving them food also, but they take all the food they want! It is better to give them a little bitty pool of water to drink from, and not have them eating all of your fruit. This is the only case that I can think that its ok to do this in though. And what's the sport in bagging a bunch of sick, bag of bones, squirrels anyway?
