The solution is to feed the homeless to the squirrels.

PETA didn't do anything when Santa Monica killed the hundreds of squirrels either.

As long as the people murdering animals are also liberals, PETA doesn't care. They only go after "the rich" for wearing mink coats.

Hysterical! Sounds like the recipients of welfare: Free food, clothing, shelter, and gambling money, which, when taken away, causes them to complain and riot.

Looks like a very elementary lesson for lib-weenies about what happens when people (squirrels) feel they're entitled to handouts. A free lesson and in a sunny park too. How perfect!!!!!

This will not sit well with the Dems at all.

Always interesting to see the leftist's selective outrage isn't it.

@$%%$E$^&^%!!!! Squirrels!!! They eat the upholstery on my deck, and leave footprints all over my white furniture! I'd poison them, but have two beautiful feral cats living under my juniper and won't risk harming them.

Is this a prelude to establish an insanity defense or did you just sincerly post an article about rodent control on a political forum?

Other than being potentially cute, what is a single positive benefit from a squirrel? Seriously.

In the wild squirrels plant nuts more nuts then they eat which helps the forest to spread. As this is usually not a desirable thing inside city limits where tree roots often cracks roads and sidewalks not to mention causing problems with the sewer and water system I can not think of one desirable reason to have squirrels in the city.

We aren't allowed to shoot the coyotes which are now roaming free in Western New York suburbs. So we can't allow our neutered cats to roam for fear of the coyotes. SO, our town says we have rats, and must NOT feed the birds w/o an approved bird feeder, which means the squirrels will starve.

WHY NOT JUST SHOOT THE COYOTES?

Isnt it telling our incompetent government will focus
on small mammals but feign powerlessness when confronted
with really cheap laborers who have broken numerous laws
which the incompetent government is in charge of enforcing.

Your government and tax dollars at work. Perfectly appropriate.

Someone should post one of those shots of a squirrel eating a baby bird.......

What, are you some kinda vegetarian? You don't eat eggs? You don't eat chicken? Maybe the damn squirrel is getting back at the birds for all his brothers and sisters eaten by owls and hawks.

what is the harm for squirrels to run around in a park?

Let's see...other than being a vector for plague carrying fleas not much.

Personally, I don't feed the squirrels. It's not that I have anything against squirrels, but after I get finished feeding the pigeons I don't have any food left.

Squirrels provide food for Hawks who also work on the
rat and mouse population.
