<human>: We had a roommate who stole almost all of our rent money skipped town, and I had just lost my job and my roommate had just moved in like two weeks before, so he wasn't working.  so basically we had to choose, either buy food and lose the house, or find another way to eat.  So, we decided that, both of us being former Marines, that we would probably be okay and that we would use our last bit of money paying rent.  Since we live in the city limits and hunting with a rifle was not an option, we used figure-four dead-fall traps and a sling-shot to take out squirrels, and even a rabbit once.  We survived on that and whatever other random stuff we could find for the next month or so, and then we found jobs so, no more squirrel.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Roommate steals all of our money, so we ate all of the neighborhood squirrels since we didn't know anyone in town or have anyway of getting food.
