Yeah that is pretty old but still funny.

I'm pretty sure that squirrel was killed instantly if not shortly thereafter. That is a clay pigeon thrower and they are quite strong. Strong enough that the throwing arm can break your leg if you stand next to it when pulled!

If the unit is modded to throw harder, the results are even more impressive. Depleted C flashlight cells can be propelled with sufficient force to penetrate a 1/2" sheet of plywood!

Cheers!

Just for the record, I AM a animal lover!

People go to GREAT lengths to keep these little buggers out of their bird feeders. This, I would imagine is just ONE of the attempts to discourage them.
