Funny as hell, no gettin' around it.

But I wouldn't want someone doing it to my cat.

So I reckon it is a tad cruel.

But still funny as hell! LOL.

It's sick and cruel.

It's not as if the squirrel is doing anything pesky....these people are baiting a trap in order to play out their cruel desires on innocent creatures.

That's disgusting. I've killed a pest squirrel or two, but to turn the killing of an animal into a game for your enjoyment is just plain sick. These people need serious help (as do the people who seem to find humor and enjoyment in watching it).

That is just sick. Getting off on <likely> hurting animals is immature at best and animal cruelty at worst.

For all of those that say that squirrel was hurt....

How do you know? They jump from tree to tree and also fall from the trees and hit the ground running....

I know this because I have hunted them for years...and watched them with amazement....

The physics involved, The animal probably bounces. They fall out of trees all the time and are built for hitting the ground at terminal velocity (low because of high aerodynamic drag). Watching the video it had arrested its spin before landing. But it probably is still cruel to send it flying like that.
