Maybe there's a market with common city rats with these people...there are certainly a lot of those without killing innocent, non disease spreading squirrels.

I have been eating fried squirrel and squirrel and dumplings for the past 33 years and didn't realize what a treat I was missing. Squirrel and gravy is our favorite Saturday morning treat!
