Folks, those of you who haven't experienced a full-blown ground squirrel infestation might think of them as being cute. There's nothing cute about what they're doing to my vegetables, and I have exhausted all diplomatic resources in negotiating a hostage exchange.
Case in point, that picture to the right is all that remains of the zucchini. Malicious damage inflicted by a plague-carrying delinquent.
Below: The California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi). NOT CUTE.
Avaricious is a better word. Squirrel, you're going down.
And over here to the right, evidence that I found at the scene of the crime. Caught you red-handed, varmint.
