i live on a college campus where there are all of these tame squirrels that arent afraid of ppl. u can be within a foot of them and they just continue whatever they are doing. so im walking along, and this squirrel is in my path. my first thought was to punt it. i didnt of course, but was kinda freaked that this was wat popped into my head. i saw a little white dog a second later, and thought that i could never punt a dog or a cat or anything, but every squirrel i saw seemed like a puntable entity. what to make of this? the squirels are still cute and domesticated....y was there a differentiation? i have no history of violence, or anything, but i dont think most 18 yr old girls think of punting squirrels.

I wouldn't worry about it, you didn't punt after all.

I think maybe you just don't like rodent-types of animals. Maybe dogs or cats register as "pets" or friendly animals to you, while anything too rodent like, like say mice or hamsters, just registers as a threat to you on a primitive, emotional level.

It happens. Lots of people look at squirrels and see "rats with a perm." ^_^ You know? It's just one of those things I bet, that you have a slightly different boundary between, say, "pet animal" and "vermin animal" than your peers around you. As long as you aren't openly attacking and/or killing the things for sport, you should be fine. ^_~

Take care and stay safe....I know what you mean...

You are EVIL, you need to put your self into an asylum for ten years to get a grip on this. Just kidding, No it was a joke, stop kicking me! Help. Ever seen the commercial where the squirrel causes the wreck. You don't have a mental problem it was a thing you could have done and nobody probably would have cared. But you didn't so good for you.

Look, I consider myself an animal rights activist, and to be truthfull I ahve thought of punting squirrels and pigeons before. It's a pretty hilarious mental image...a squeek and a fuzzy squirrel flying through the air.
The mental picture is funny, the reality isn't.
But you only thought about it.
Thinking it would be fun to kiss a boy other than your boyfriend isn't cheating...

Yes, that is sick. I am sure there are other more productive things, you can do with your time.
