I don't feel it's my place to tell you if you should feel bad or not, as that is a matter of personal ethics, etc. I have shot dozens of squirrels and ground squirrels. The only time I feel bad about it is when I do not make a clean shot. I figure if I make the choice to take something's life, I can at least do it without causing the animal to suffer. For this reason I try to make head shots whenever possible.

I realize that's more of a personal perspective than an answer, but I hope it was helpful.
