Good stuff. I'll try some of these tips inshaa'Allah :).
 
Is it ok to hurt animals only because you feel they annoy you? Better after kind of catapult flying go to look that animal and end its suffering if it is hurted.

:raging:
 
^ He catapulted that baby squirrel!!!

It may of hit into the tree,
Or crashed into some rocks!

I feel like catapulting that dude into space!

:''''(
 
Animal cruelty?

I personally did not find the video funny.

Ok, apologies if I offended anyone.. I only found it funny because br Abd'al Maajid was so frustrated that he posted that vid.

Of course, kindness to animals is a part of Islam. So please forgive my insensitive roffle comment.

They're freaking pests people.. Let's have a reality check.. I guess no one caught anything from a rodent that wasn't resolved in a day or two :skeleton:
 
What if I feel cats annoying me? They come to my garden and keep noise, they make mess there and they pee... smells. They are kind of pests to me. Is it ok I put there food with poison what kills them but hey they are not cute of my mind, just annoying (and maybe danger to health too) pests.

:hiding:

We can find people whose are annoyed about most of kind of animals of the world. Is it ok to kill all only because they annoy just someone?

I don't advocate the killing of animals because they're 'annoying' I advocate proper disposal of them when they're pests there is a difference. Believe it or not Plagues are carried by rodents.. now we call the plague Yersenia Pestis but it doesn't make said diseases any less harmless simply because we have antibitics.. They still carry a large number of diseases. I'd hate to think of you spelunking and encountering bats and finding them cute catching something from them is almost always universally fatal!
Cats may not carry the same type diseases as rodents but still can cause things like cat scratch fever and bartonella henselae and especially dangerous and fatal to pregnant women and AIDS pts. is Toxoplasma gondii.. so I guess pet and love em at your own risk but I am personally not being arbitrary. He needs to get rid of them!

:w:
 
I read some years ago that squirrels in America may carry Yersenia Pestis by they fleas. I too agree it is not good be too close contact to them; both to humans and squirrels too - some people may hurt squirrels if they trust people too much. By that reason (Yersenia Pestis) it might better if brother would stop feeding even birds in his garden - as it brings also squirrels to there. Killing squirrels might not resolve problem.

How many people have died to pestilence in USA yearly? By squirrels fleas?

Again, you're taking just one thing out of my post and concentrating on it. It isn't about Yersenia and as I have clearly stated we have antibiotics if we realize what it is early enough. It is that they carry a host of diseases and are generally pests. Pests are those that attack foods and crops and chase away other more desirable creatures. He wants birds in his garden and not goofers, not rodents it is his right to have the type of garden of his choosing.
I'd like to have birds in my garden I don't want them to be Kytes or other types of raptors. Are we just being politically correct or are we using reason? because I really abhor the first!

:w:
 
I don´t understand about difference of diseaces as much than some others but if feeding birds brings also others to garden, isn´t it better to stop feed anyone? Birds come to there anyway like making to them nests. They find they food from nature.

I don´t know conditions in America, but even in here they do so.

I don't agree that it is better to feed anything no- firstly they're not human beings and there's a delicate balance to life and nature.. by this logic we'd stop animals from hunting and eating each other.

Actually you don´t need to agree with me at all - that was my opinion how to stop annoying animals come to eat food someone has left.

^o)

People may think squirrels are pests, cats are pests, wolves are pests, elephants are pests for they harmony life and find some way to get rid of them. People are good to find reasons. To me squirrels are part of nature I respect and like to follow they life - as like birds too. So to birds I make nests to my garden and to squirrels leave some extra peanuts at winter here.
 
:salamext:

Just to clarify, I wouldn't actually do that to a squirrel. In fact I wouldn't do that do to any animal.

The problem with squirrels is that they look very adorable because of their size and appearance, but they can soon become a nuisance in gardens. They dig up holes to bury their nuts, unearth and eat the seeds that you plant in your garden and can even go as far as making their house in your attic if they feel comfortable enough around you. They're very stubborn as well and don't leave you alone despite attempts to rid them.

Though I really want to rid them from my garden, I won't harm them in the process. I still hope for a reward from Allah for all the food they eat that wasn't put there for them and being a nuisance :).
 
Salam alaykum

as you know "Allah loves those most whose He tests". Who knows, maybe Allah has sended you herd of stubborn squirrels to increase your patience.

:giggling:

By the way; peanut-garden might be beatiful too - as squirrels never remember all they caches.

If it were descending on your garden I sure hope you would. Even though it seems beneficial and rids of rodents..

Narrated Hafsa: Allah's Apostle said, "It is not sinful (of a Muhrim) to kill five kinds of animals, namely: the crow, the kite, the mouse, the scorpion and the rabid dog." (Book #29, Hadith #54)

Narrated Aisha: Allah's Apostle said, "Five kinds of animals are harmful and could be killed in the Haram (Sanctuary). These are: the crow, the kite, the scorpion, the mouse and the rabid dog." (Book #29, Hadith #55)

Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet said, "Five kinds of animals are mischief-doers and can be killed even in the Sanctuary: They are the rat the scorpion, the kite, the crow and the rabid dog." (Book #54, Hadith #531)

rodents do fall under that category, there's a wisdom behind that and there's an eco system that Allah swt is responsible for balancing. You're to do your duties. If elephants were walking up in your garden then I'd strike a tent and charge admission but get on it and get rid of the pests!

:w:
 
To add to the above because I detest irrational emotionality which is bound to rear its ugly head at some stage:
there is a hadith that says once when the prophet [saw] was waiting for the angel jibril to come and meet him at a pre-arranged time, jibril [as] did not turn up, and jibril [as] had said later that the reason why he did not turn up was because their was a [stray] dog in the prophet's [saw] house; then the Prophet [saw] ordered that a culling of dogs be carried out, so there was nothing wrong with that, as culling of dogs and many other animals [when they become too much of a nuisance] are carried out by all countries even in this day ansd age; it's a neccessity for humans to live without major problems caused by some animals getting out of hand; in the case of the problem during the Prophet's [saw] time, the dogs had reached such a number that they were straying into peoples houses and this was the cause of even revelation? coming to a halt [for a period]


as for now, killing of non-dangerous dogs are prohibbited ...:

Asalam Aleikum,
Dear Sir I would like if you could elaborate on the matter with regards to dogs in Islam. Is there a Hadith that permits killings of dogs, and is it with regards to any dogs or black dogs? Thank You.

Answer:

Wa alaykum salam wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuHu,

Regarding the command to kill dogs, the As-hab opined that it is permissible to kill a rabid dog; yet, a harmless dog, irrespective of its color, may not be killed. Imam al-Haramayn stated that the command to kill dogs was abrogated. It was related that the Prophet Muhammad ordered the killing of dogs. Then, that was abrogated, except for pure black dogs. And thereafter, killing any harmless dog was prohibited. Thus, it is only permissible to kill a dog that may cause harm, like one with rabies. (Sharh Sahih Muslim v. 3, p. 536 and v. 10, p. 1931)


And Allah knows best.

Yaqub Abdurrahman
