I read your posts all the time but have never...Hi,<br /><br />I read your posts all the time but have never posted.<br /><br />I just wanted to say that although I am as sick as you are about poisening any animals I do want to point out that squirrels can be a hazard to home owners.<br /><br />Having had the same experiences as you with them a number of years ago, it was only later that my husband and I discovered they had gotten into the roof and ruined the insulation which we had to repair, very costly.<br /><br />So, are you okay with a quick kill trap? Are you prepared to send out a flyer throughout your neighbourhood advising of the cruelty of poisoning but offering an alternative and being understanding of the fact that they can also be a hazardous pest. Live trapping is hard, I have done that too.<br /><br />Another couple we knew had their wiring chewed which caused a fire, thankfully no one was hurt but the damage was extensive and it was a result of squirells chewing, lots of stories like that.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984002470491136572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24226508.post-25921886603689042582011-09-22T05:44:33.061-06:002011-09-22T05:44:33.061-06:00I was in prison and you visited me....

And ye...People that poison animals are sick f*cks! And yes you are right about them going after the cats and dogs next. I would try filing a police report. Then there is a permanent official record. Any chance your local Vet School would do a postmortem on the squirrel? (We once had a very sick goldfish and called the Montreal Aquarium for advice. They said the fish was going to die, but they would be happy to do an autopsy. February is quite at the Aquarium!)<br /><br />Your dog is cool.
