I think Pilgrim has summed things up nicely. I note you say 'feral pigeon and grey squirrel'. This makes me wonder if what your doing is more in the way of management. Feral pigeon make a mess and spread disease. Grey squirrel are wiping out our native red squirrel.

As Pilgrim has said, only you can really answer this question,though I suspect what you do is for a valid reason.

At the end of the day it is you that has to live with your actions...it is your conscience... and not for anyone else to tell you what is 'right' or 'wrong' / condone or condemm.
If it helps, not all those 'in the craft' follow the Wiccan Rede of 'harm none'(it is, after all, a Wiccan concept) ;)
If you feel that what you do is a needful thing but still feel uncomfortable, perhaps you could find comfort by including a ritual for those you have culled? (or something you feel comfortable with to mark their passing over)... Culling with respect - if that makes sense....

Welcome to the Garden by the way :)
Blessings

Thank you Whitewolf for your welcome,i wish you and everyone else all that is good. I have realised i was probably looking for people to bolster my guilt trip.
I have decided to keep doing what i do,but i will do as you have suggested and have some kind of ceremony for the culled animals.I do think the animals in question are harmful to our enviorment,but living things they are just the same so i will try and give them the easiest of crossings.I have been reading the other articles i hope every one gets what they need to see them through.
kind wishes, squinney man.
