[QUOTE="Giselle, post: 295790, member: 7525"] Honestly it all sounds like a very bad plan to keep trapping the squirrels because they're eating from the bird feeder. If they're just being moved to another area, that's possibly illegal in your area to relocate wild animals. But regardless it seems a bit cruel to me - he may be trapping ones who have babies who need their mamas to survive, and it's quite terrifying for a wild animal to be trapped (and for what is a fairly trivial reason). It also seems very inefficient - as long as there's food there, they're going to keep coming. You've got to squirrel-proof the feeder [URL]http://www.hsus.org/press_and_publications/humane_society_magazines_and_newsletters/wild_neighbors_news/volume_3_number_1_winter_2001/a_squirrelproof_bird_feeder.html[/URL] Hope this wasn't offensive, but I think there must be better ways to handle the basic situation. It must have been a terrifying and painful death for the chipmunk, and that's quite sad, especially as it was unnecessary. [/QUOTE]
