While most suburbanites may be baffled why anyone would protect a pesky squirrel, these are Mount Graham red squirrels"

OK, so they're endangered. How expensive could it be to trap about two dozen of them, breed them and in 5 years have 10K Mount Graham Red Squirrels?

I'm sure it would be a FRACTION of the $1.25 million.

This is criminal. The reality is that the total of one person’s taxes, possibly over a lifetime of work,,, will be devoted to saving one squirrel.

This is utterly criminal,,,
And why not trap a few and have them bred? It could be very inexpensive.

What do you want to bet that the “Mount Graham red squirrels” are the same as any other squirrel but renamed that to make them extinct. That is the game they play.

Are the coyotes who eat the squirrels too dumb to use these bridges as a trap?

In Kentucky, they’d just kill ‘em and eat their brains.

Well, some of them might be illegal alien squirrels . . .
Our governor and legislature ought to be very ashamed of themselves.

Aren’t they going to need another $5mil to train the squirrels on how to find and use the bridge?

Now isn’t THAT interesting. ABC news is suddenly taxpayer dollar WASTE conscious!! Where have they been for the past year and a half with Hussein’s monumental federal debt?? Of course it COULD just be a coincidence that the network is trying to ridicule/assault Brewer in Arizona. Uh huh.
