Stimson-Green Mansion barbarians MASS-MURDERING the innocent squirrels!!!:
STIMSON-GREEN MANSION BARBARIANS MASS-MURDERING THE INNOCENT SQUIRRELS!!!

I have been feeding squirrels in the whole First Hill area for three years. In the course of the last year, whenever I would come to that area, I noticed there would be fewer and fewer squirrels therein; in particular fewer around the First Hill Park, where I would spend the most time to feed squirrels. That Park is adjacent to a mansion named THE STIMSON-GREEN.

On Wednesday, September the 8th, 2010 I arrive at the First Hill Park again; I am calling my squirrels, none is showing up. Resigned and perplexed I am walking back by the Mansion. Suddenly I notice a truck parked by the Mansion; I am reading its logo – “Critter Control.” I am approaching the truck, see in the back of it animal transfer-traps of various sizes. There is a driver sitting by its wheel. I am asking him “Are you here because of squirrels?” He replies, “Yes, I am trapping them there” – pointing to the Mansion. “What are you doing with them?” He: “I am putting them down.” I, shouting: “You are killing them?!“ He nods. I: “How dare you do it; who has authorized you to kill them?!!!” He replies, “They are nuisance animals; it’s legal to kill them.” I retort: “It doesn’t matter what the barbaric law says; why don’t you just relocate them?!” He replies, “It is illegal to do it too.’’

Seeing that talking to a barbarian leads to nowhere, in shock I am walking toward the Mansion’s entrance. A woman is walking down the stairs. I am asking her if the Mansion’s manager is there. I reiterate to her my conversation with the driver. Stunned, I am telling her that they must not continue killing squirrels; I am offering them to come any time with my squirrel transfer-trap and relocate squirrels to the Arboretum for free. I am telling her I will be happy to do it. She takes my telephone number and tells me I would be called back.

No call back from them.

The next day I am back by the Mansion. I am going inside and ask some worker to talk to the manager. A woman comes, soon to be joined by another woman – I assumed from the management too. They tell me that squirrels have been getting into the mansion’s attic, causing problems; that they cut trees but squirrels were still getting inside. I tell them why you don’t just seal the attic so that squirrels wouldn’t be getting in. They reply, “We did it, squirrels still managed to get inside.” I asked if the closures were made out of metal. They reply, “Yes; squirrels were chewing thought metal.” I, shouting: “Through METAL?!!!” They reply, “Yes through metal.” I tell them that I understand that they don’t want squirrels in their attic if they cause problems but absolutely NOT KILLING them. I ask them, how many squirrels the “Critter Control” killed. The women reply, “I don’t know; they just take them away.’’ I repeat to them that I will come any time to trap squirrels with my transfer-cage and relocate them to the Arboretum. They reply, “We cannot do it; it’s illegal.” I tell them it’s a totally unjustifiable law; that they are supposed to do what is moral and right. They tell me with hate in their voice that “Squirrels are NASTY; that they are having BABIES!” I tell them I will do anything to stop them from continuing killing squirrels, and leave.

That’s my account of dealing with those two DESPICABLE persons from the management of the Stimson-Green Mansion. Those BARBARIANS have mass-murdered at least dozens of squirrels from the whole First Hill area. There used to be at least ten times as many squirrels in that area – especially around the Mansion itself – as it is now.

What those squirrel mass-murdering barbarians have been doing is totally inexcusable. It is entirely obvious to me that the only reason they have been murdering the innocent, beautiful, wonderful, sweet valuable squirrels is because those despicable people of the Mansion HATE SQUIRRELS!!! They were not even able to hide that hatred from me, while talking to me.

In addition to being squirrel-murdering barbarians, those two women are liars too. They lied to me; that they didn’t know how many squirrels the squirrel mass-murder company – “Critter Control” – murdered; that they squirrel-proofed the attic; that squirrels were chewing through metal; that they cut trees to prevent squirrels from getting into the attic. In reality, it was the CITY that cut 2-3 trees that were growing BY THE STREET, in front of the Mansion’s lawn. The city cut them down because they were too rotten.

What makes the Mansion’s people especially wicked is that it was so easy to squirrel-proof the attic. On the basis of my studying the roof of the Mansion from the distance of the public sidewalks, it is more than possible that there was just one entrance to the attic, squirrels were using to get inside – the air-vent located in the roof, on the building’s façade!

The only beings that hate should be reserved for, are those MOST DESPICABLE BEINGS IMAGINABLE, THE SQUIRREL MASS-MURDERING BARBARIC, SCUM-OF-THE-EARTH – THE HITLERITES FROM THE “CRITTER CONTROL” COMPANY!!! Those hitlerites have been making money by mass-murdering the innocent, beautiful, valuable squirrels taking advantage of the BARBARIAN-MADE laws that sanction the murder of those noble, one-of-a-kind animals.

The next day, on Friday, September the 10th, 2010 I started picketing the Stimson-Green Mansion. I stood in front of the Mansion on the public sidewalk with the sign reading “Stop the Stimson-Green Mansion barbarians from killing the innocent squirrels!!!”

On the fourth, continuous day of my picketing – on Monday, September the 13th, at 4:00 PM – suddenly the Seattle Police, a man and a woman, approach me. They tell me that the Mansion’s manager made a complaint that I went on their property and harassed them. I reply to the officers that this is not true, that I talked to the management once only, that the two women were conversing willingly with me. The Police tell me that I may not go on their property again or they will “trespass me”, and that the “Pest Control company will come again.”

The Mansion’s management demonstrated their ethical and moral quality again: They waited four days to call the police to make the report that I had “harassed" them. Clearly, they decided to make the fraudulent report to get rid of me, after they had noticed that I was doing damage to them with my picketing.

Half an hour later I see the truck of the hitlerites from the “Critter Control” drive into the Mansion’s backyard. A worker grabs a squirrel transfer-trap and a mat – it looked to me like a poison mat for killing animals – and walks into the Mansion. After five minutes he exits the building holding another transfer-trap with a squirrel in it. I am taking photographs of that squirrel-murdering bandit. He puts the trap-cage in the back of his truck and drives toward the Mansion’s exit. He approaches the public sidewalk I stand on, I am running to the truck trying to grab the cage but the bandit accelerates and drives away.

That’s right: THE SQUIRREL-MURDERING, SCUM-OF-THE-EARTH BANDIT MURDERED A SQUIRREL I KNEW PERSONALLY ON MY VERY OWN EYES!!!

I cannot forgive myself till now for having not rescued that precious, innocent squirrel from the murderous hands of that despicable bandit.

If that wasn’t enough, just after he left, another squirrel entered the attic through the air-vent in the Mansion’s roof. Obviously that squirrel went to her death too – the bandit set up another trap in the attic.

I continued my picketing every day on. The next day somebody told me that the hitlerites from the “Critter Control” came that day too, at morning. Some bandit from that company was seen walking around the Mansion, maybe trying to recover traps he might have set up around the Mansion on the ground, too.

The coming Friday, at 5:00 PM, I hear suddenly a shrilling squeak of a squirrel coming from the Mansion’s roof. I look at the roof and what I see is a squirrel tail sticking from that same air-vent. The horrid squeaking and tail-moving lasted an hour. Then came silence and the tail stopped moving. I was looking at it with horror, not being able to do personally anything about it. I pointed the tail to a couple of passersby asking them to call the Mansion about it. It looked that the squirrel got stuck in a wire- or a poison-trap. What I concluded, was that to fool the public that they don’t kill the squirrels anymore, the Mansion’s management discharged the murderers from the “Critter Control” at least for now; but before they did it, THEY HAD THE MURDERERS INSTALL A TRAP IN THE AIR-VENT TO CONTINUE KILLING SQUIRRELS BY TORTURE-MURDERING THEM! Thus the poor squirrel was dying in agony one hour! So despicable and perfidious are the people from the Mansion’s management.

What adds to the atrocity of the Mansion’s management is the fact that the squirrels that build their dens in the attics are usually the PREGNANT OR NURSING squirrels. It is highly possible that some baby squirrels in the attic died a horrible death after their mother was murdered.

The next Saturday and Sunday I had to discontinue picketing because I got sick from the heavy rain.

I resumed picketing on Monday. When I arrived the tail was no more in the air-vent. I don’t know how many more squirrels the Mansion’s barbarians torture-murdered in that horrid trap.

I continued picketing until the coming Wednesday. I picketed the Mansion eleven days total, over four hours a day on the average.

The next day, on Thursday, I went back to monitor the Mansion. I noticed changes: On the roof, just below the air-vent there were some wooden shingles driven in. The shingles – looked to me like there was five of them – just narrowed the entrance to the air-vent by about the half. Thus the entrance was still high enough for a squirrel, especially of a smaller size, to squeeze-in through! I don’t think that the Mansion’s management is so stupid that they didn’t know what they were doing. I suspect that they continue to play games with the public. The shingles showed everybody around that they “solved” the problem but the squirrels would be still getting into the attic, continuing to offer the management the excuse to murder them! Obviously the honest solution to this problem would be to install a metal grid in the air-vent so that the air would be still getting in but squirrels not.

The reaction of the passersby and the motorists to my picketing was overwhelmingly positive. Many people expressed outrage at the Mansion’s management for having murdered the innocent, valuable squirrels; they told me that they enjoyed the squirrels in their neighborhoods and wanted them to stay there. Numerous inhabitants of the Mansion’s neighborhoods told me that they too, had noticed in the recent months that there has been a sudden drop in the number of squirrels in the WHOLE are. They didn’t know the cause of that phenomenon until I discovered it.

That’s what you got, everybody: A perpetual squirrel-murdering machine called The Stimson-Green Mansion, and its despicable people.

I don’t have to tell you that YOU SHOULD NOT PATRONIZE AND SPONSOR THE STIMSON-GREEN MANSION IN ANY WAY UNTIL THE MANSION’S MANAGEMENT DISPICABLE PEOPLE ARE FIRED AND ASSUARANCES GIVEN THAT THE NEW MANAGEMENT WILL NEVER MURDER SQUIRRELS AGAIN!

I don’t have to say the following even more: DON’T EVER PATRONIZE THE SQUIRREL MASS-MURDERING, SCUM-OF-THE-EARTH HITLERITES FROM THE “CRITTER CONTROL” COMPANY!!!

A word on the legal aspect of this atrocity against the nature: The vast majority of the squirrels in the state of Washington are the squirrels of the Eastern Gray subspecies. There are other subspecies living in this state too, most notably the Western Gray squirrels. The lawmakers in their wisdom made the Eastern subspecies legally unprotected, while the Western ones – protected. Why? Because the Eastern squirrels are from another state originally, while the Western ones are allegedly, originally from this state – the so called native squirrels. An absurd, hitlerite concept!!!

Another brilliant production of the Washington lawmakers is the law prohibiting relocation of squirrels. They justify it by claiming that squirrels might have diseases and relocating them would put the territory squirrels at risk of infection. In reality, squirrels in vast areas like the Puget Sound have ALL THE SAME DISEASES!

The lawmakers, who enacted those totally unjustifiable, idiotic laws, are ignoramuses and the same barbarians as the people, who actually murder squirrels. Because of these outrageous laws tens of thousands of the valuable-to-the-ecosystem, innocent, friendly squirrels are slaughtered annually by detestable barbarians.

THE LAWS MUST BE CHANGED RIGHT NOW TO PROTECT LEGALLY ALL AND ANY SQUIRREL SUBSPECIES!
