This is horrible. I wonder why we don't here from PETA on this one?
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.
I just found an article about PETA's reaction to the poisoning of the squirrels in Santa Monica.
They applauded Santa Monica for stopping the practice ( after they killed all the squirrels). You can't make this up.
Santa Monica Wins Kudos from Animal Rights Group

“PETA applauds Santa Monica’s efforts to end the indiscriminate poisoning of the ground squirrel population in Palisades Park,” Boyles said. “What they are doing really is setting a precedent and policy for other communities and cities across the nation.”

Under direct orders from the newly hired City manager Lamont Ewell -- and over the objections of animal advocacy groups, a local council member and County Supervisor Zev Yaroslovsky -- City staff gassed hundreds of squirrel burrows in the seaside park with a lethal dose of aluminum phosphide between Monday and Friday of last week.
