No
Sticks and string and such

Thermite would be rubbish for killing animals
unless you could get them to stand still for a while. It may be hot, but it's ponderous.

You've never considered a thermite cannon?

Due to it being a ficticious weapon in a computer game
I suspect not.

The thermite reaction doesn't produce any gas
Iron Oxide + Aluminium - Iron + Aluminium oxide and some heat. You'd melt the cannonball. And the cannon.

Thermite is hot enough to melt steels and iron, perhaps, but it isn't hot enough to melt the teeth of a small african child.

Boiling iron wouldn't be far off, so you could do it with a little tinkering...

Are you allowed to staple them to the floor first?
Flying squirrels would be quite easy to staple.
