The purpose is small game pest control/hunting(squirrel, chipmunk, starling, rabbit) I prefer rifles. The range would be 20-60 yrds

Hello. I am having major problmes with another apartment neighbors animals. They are absolute white trash. The mother is an ex-meth user, alcoholic, and is on Welfare and SSI. The father and children are all on free health benefits, and welfare. Numerous times we have given these people cat food, and litter because “They can’t afford it”, meanwhile they are eating 16 ounce steaks and 4 inch tuna fillets. They are complete scum, that deserves to be on the streets. Anywho, their cats are a total problem. Both ( well thats only the ones that go outside) need vaccinations. They have had many run-ins with raccoons and have luckily not contracted rabies. I have a cat and 3 ferrets and the other neighbors have a dog. There are chidren in this building along with my mother, my boyfriend, and I. Another thing. Our building has a common area for hallways leading to our laundry rooms. Demon the black cat has been spraying the neighbor and I’s upstairs hallway. It is starting to leak into my dining room, and I don’t need my cat to start spraying becaus he smells this cat. ( Mind you my cat is neutered and kept indoors at ALL TIMES.) I have had to throw water at the cat to keep him from coming into my apartment so I can go do laundry. I am fed up with the black one. He brings in dead birds, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, ect. into the apartment, and into its “owners” apartment. They have told me that a chipmunk that died in their apartment due to the cat was lost for a week before they found it decomposing under the fridge. Other neighbors have threatened to shoot it, because it’s killing off birds in their yards, and they have told these people to keep the cat inside. The other isn’t spayed and keeps mating with the black one and any other cat it finds. She is on her 6th litter of kittnes in 2 years. They will not listen to us about taking it to a low cost clinic to get it neutered and vetted for about $20 a cat. The black one will stalk my ferrets when they are on their harnesses while my boyfriend and I are standing there. Recently I had to throw a hand full of mulch at the cat to get him away from our ferrets. I’m not making my animals suffer and not be able to get fresh air because they can’t keep their f*n cat inside. I called animal control and they said they can’t do anything. BUT they did tell me if we can catch the cat off the neighbor that owns it’s property, we can bring it to any shelter in our area becuase it’s techincally a stray when it wanders off their property. It does not have a collar ( neither of them do) and personally I feel they would be best away from the crack head lunatics.
My question is would the cat in our hallway or on the common ground shared by us count as “public” property. These cats have to go and I am going to net them. So anyone that knows what would count as off the owners property feel free to answer. I need to know do AC mean in our hall, on our porch, in the common yard where the damn feline leaves dead animals?

i understand the cons of feeding squirrels but i feel the pros outweigh it. my neighbor seems to think i am the cause of her rodent problems and yelled at me yesterday and threaten to call the city on me. i checked and it’s not illegal to feed them. I don’t leave table food out, it’s all high quality feed and it’s in a feeder at the back end of my yard. my neighbor has set up mouse trap to kill any chipmunk/squirrels/etc. that get on her property. i don’t agree with what she is doing but i can’t tell her what to do so i don’t feel she has a right to tell me what to do either! i am not the only one feeding in the neighborhood and my feeding is not the cause of her problems. i really don’t want to start a war but i don’t see why i need to change my lifestyle to accommodate her. i want to continue to enjoy my home/yard but it’s hard now cuz of her. what should i do? give in? continue to live my life the way I want to live it? Serious comments please! thanks!
if she agree to stop killing then i will stop feedubg but she will continue to kill so what’s the point? am i putting innocent lives in the line of fire? i could be but with or without me, the squirrels will find their way to her property. note, i don’t put out 3 meals a day for them, it’s only occassionally whenever i have time to get out there so i don’t see how they will be “dependent” on my food and “can’t survive” on their own.
i called the city – it is not illegal to feed at all – there are just guidelines to follow (no food on the ground and feeder has to be 4ft above ground). there is no point talking sense into her, i tried and she yelled and screamed for 15mins and shut the door on me. she has been complaining to other neighbors about it too and i feel i am being unjustly “ganged up” on. The point is, i am sorry she is having problems with rodents but i am not the cause of her problems so i shouldn’t be blamed for it. i already have to taped up all the windows facing her home so i don’t witness her “murdering” the critters…what else can i do? last i checked, i am the one paying for the house, not her!

What is the difference between a chipmunk and a squirrel?
