Ok... Listen
"Five farm workers were charred to death when a high-tension power supply cable snapped on being disturbed by a squirrel"
If a squirrel can take down your power line, can you really blame the animal? Come on now... What do they weigh, a pound?Don't spend money and buy, spend time and learn.
