Don Don MacNeill donmacneill@eastlink.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: Randy Lauff To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2010 9:01 AM Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Murder by Chipmunk 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.
