I know this would vary from locale to locale, but, presumably, there are some animals that do not require a permit to kill (mice in mouse traps, for example). How does this work? Is there a list of “always OK to kill” species?
Edit: Thank you everybody for the replies!
Holy cow. I live in Oregon and there are at least 50 western gray squirrels just around my house. There are tons along the river by our house too. I didn’t know they are endangered in Washington. How weird, considering we’re neighboring states (although there is a huge river between us).
OMG!!!, A FUCKIN YEET CANNON ACROSS THE RIVER!

I think their habitats got hit hard by the fires this year. Not entirely sure. I’m not a squirrelologist
In Australia there are different species which are endangered or plentiful.
I’m pretty sure it’s the Eastern grey’s around the house. Not endangered in the slightest. [https://myodfw.com/wildlife-viewing/species/squirrels-chipmunks-and-marmots](Western grey squirrels have no brown color at all and are bigger. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one.)
