It says we like our tomatoes enough to protect them from tree rats. Why grow a garden if you are going to just turn it over to the vermin. I don't mind sharing but since the squirrels in the last few years have become too greedy they have to go. We also like to kill fire ants. You just have to draw the line somewhere.
