You've never ridden a horse or run cattle on an open range or you
wouldn't ask what the big deal is. That part aside, they carry fleas
which transmit Bubonic plague. Farmers and ranchers pay good money to
exterminators, exterminators in built up areas make good money from
the Health Dept. for their work.

Picture this one: a truck with a big vacuum cleaner drives up, drops
the hose into a hole and starts sucking out rodents. That's the
current "humane" way to clean out the little pests.

Here's where we realize the difference between NATO 7.62 ammunition
used in say a Russian AK 1947 assault weapon, and a American 30-06. my
..308 will pass through a watermelon, or this rodent without even moving
it, the my 30-06 obliterates them.

I can safely say you've never own a horse or pony:

probably the reason I got to join my 4H gun club at age nine:
