I agree with Jim, and I've said it before in this forum (and received angry responses)..."predation" is not "murder".


Live trapping the chipmunk, and relocating it, will result in a slow death by starvation of its young. And that is closer to murder than anything the chipmunk did.


Sincerely,
Randy

  Hi all:
   
  As a follow up I received another email.  There were two young left which were later murdered also by the chipmunk.  The issue with the intruder has been taken care of as suggested with a live trap.  The pair appear to be attempting a re-nest.  We shall see.
