Moral dilemma: is killing garden pests (like moles) a bad thing?
I hate killing, yet I have a lot of friends who take gardening very seriously - some are completely self-sufficient! Is is a bad thing to kill the pests which ruin their crops? If they do not kill the pests, then the pests multiply and ruin the harvest. Any advice?
Don't think of it as a moral problem, its more a case of statistics.
One cute squirrel = half eaten corn cobs raining down on you from on high.
One cute chipmunk called Chippy = no strawberry's
One cute mouse = many more friends and relations who have booked a table at their fave. eatery... your garden.
Now the flip side of the equation,
One hubby + one shotgun and some traps = a bumper harvest and Squirrel fritters.
Not a question of morals dear Lady... just a case of what do you hold most dear? lunch or small mammals.
