For squirrels gone wild, city plans a turnoff
Santa Monica has a new plan to stop a breeding frenzy among the rodents in Palisades Park.
Afraid that a population explosion among squirrels in a city park could pose a public health risk, Santa Monica officials are ready to try a proven method of dealing with the problem: birth control shots.......
California ground squirrels, like rats and gophers, are rodents. Experts warn that they are aggressive and may carry rabies or host fleas that can spread disease, such as bubonic plague. The larger the squirrel population, the greater the chance for infestation, which in turn could expose humans and predatory animals to disease, said Gail Van Gordon, an entomologist with the Los Angeles County Health Services Department........
Since 1998, Santa Monica has been cited five times by the county for squirrel overpopulation and has tried a number of suppression methods: poison, gassing and euthanasia. But those actions only angered animal-loving activists seeking a nonlethal solution.......
Why don't they just start putting out posters promoting safe-sex and hand out little condoms. Just as liberals are trying to appease terrorists and thwart get-tough approaches in the war on terror; these same type of liberal lunatics are more concerned about the rodents than they are the dangers and health risks that these rodents pose.
I have another simple solution. Call in Gino, give him a butt-load of ammo, and offer him a year's supply of pizza and beer for taking out the rodent population in the park. (on second thought, that might be a lot more expensive than trapping them and giving them all shots)
