 A squirrel life ≠ a human life 

Some people eat squirrels so there is that. 

The issue here is about property rights, not animal rights...the squirrel was property of the owner. 

Therefore, that is where this arguement should be centered, and there should be a due recourse.

 Wouldn't try to say there's an equality of value although I've met some pretty awful humans in my life. 

I didn't understand what was going on. Side note while I enjoy watching squirrels they are delicious. 

I do agree with the property rights thing. Still a dick move until I learn more about why killing them
