Trapping squirrels
I bought a squirrel cage trap from Amazon and caught a squirrel within 10
minutes of leaving the trap open in the garden. Once caught I quickly realised that I didn't have it in me to kill the squirrel - as destructive as they are in chewing timber frame houses and damaging plants and trees. A pest control company will charge to destroy them but this incredibly involves clubbing the poor buggers to death having placed them in a sack. Doesn't sound right to me. A local vet will charge a consultation fee plus other charges to humanely destroy a caught squirrel - about £60. I've been told that you can't release them once caught. But what harm would it do to release a squirrel in a local forest miles away from anyone where there are already thousands - probably millions - of the critters? I'm not saying there is no harm just asking for an understanding of what it is. |
