17. Do people eat squirrel? If not, why do they hunt them?

I am not a hunter, have never owned a gun and never will, and do not see the appeal of hunting at all. But given that hunting has been deemed to be acceptable and is not going to be banned any time soon, I do not see the problem with hunters shooting pests that are not endangered. I would assume that if it looks like their numbers are dropping and there is a possibility that they could be come endangered, the rule would change again.
