Critters
 

In today's local paper:
http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/p...NEWS/708040342
Does not make sense that we can trap animals as long as we don't kill or
relocate them. I mentioned in previous post that I trapped skunk and DE
Fish and Wildlife would have nothing to do with it since it was not a
game animal. Foxes are protected species because rich fox hunters want
to chase them and don't want them killed. Three miles from here, in PA,
foxes are treated like vermin. My experience with state bureaucracy is
you usually have to go around them to get things done ;)

If you live capture all the critters and keep them in your house, the
local SPCA will come and take them away from/for you.

If you read a previous post, you will know that last critter I caught
was a skunk and her 4 kids would not leave the area. My wife thought
they were really cute but I don't believe she would have invited them in
to live with us.

Knock, knock! Anyone home???
Yeah Frank, I answered with kudos for not killing them. The above is my
attempt at humor.

I know and my response was supposed to be humorous.
I hear that descented skunks are good pets but local nature center had
one in a cage and after it scratched someone it was tested and found to
be rabid.
I do have friends and neighbors that trap then kill the animals which I
would not do.
My original message was to say that if you are allowed to trap the
animals but not kill or relocate them it makes no sense. I suspect
error in article which is normal for most news media ;)
