KHOU earlier showed an animal shelter with something like 40 squirrels in it. They said concerned residents noticed that the rodentia didnt have a home anymore and brought them to the shelter.
Im having a hard time reconciling independent gun-toting Texans with rescuing wild park animals (vermin) that can make their own way to higher ground.

SAVE THE NUT MONKEY’S!!! ;-)
(40+ nut monkey’s in a animal shelter would be a funny sight to see)
Squirrels ain't vermin, they's food. Also something for the dogs to chase but rarely catch (our old dog got three though, she outsmarted 'em).
No conflict at all between hunting and preserving them. Besides, the report I read says these were young 'ens, knocked out of their nests by the storm, and separated from Mama Squirrel.
Also not quite sure what you mean by "park animals". They're everywhere there are trees with nuts or cones.
Wife was very concerned during out last hurricane when the squirrel’s nest blew out of the tree. They all survived just fine...except for the ones that got in my pecan tree.
Here’s something that should blow your minds even more.
Sometimes we rescue rattlesnakes in natural disasters.
Even weirder - often the rattlesnakes do not attack while being rescued.
Why do we do it? Because at the time, they need help, they’re not attacking us (and as such are not valid targets), and because God tells us to:
“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Genesis 1:28
