Personal

It's getting personal now. Last night a critter (I think it's a possum) went into the trap I had set, got the cheese, but managed to escape. He/she/it then proceeded to kill and eat all the little chicks. The mama hen has walked around the yard all day looking for them.
Yesterday when I set the trap, I planned to capture the critter, take it somewhere far away from here and release it.
Now, it's personal. If I capture it tonight, it won't be pretty. Maybe I'll tie it to the ground, clamp its mouth shut and let the surviving chickens peck its eyes out before throwing it into a boiling hill of red fire ants and letting them eat it alive.....OK, you know I won't do that, but I can tell you, I AM NOT HAPPY.
