Trapping Is Cruel

To the Editor:

Cruelty is alive and well in Stafford Township’s Mill Creek Park. Squirrels are being trapped and relocated, which according to studies, is a death sentence.

Relocated squirrels do not know their source of food, water and shelter. Also, resident squirrels are territorial. Mother squirrels are being forced to leave behind babies. Trapping is even permitted when squirrels must endure torrential downpours and hail, like we experienced the other night, while trapped.

If squirrels can not live in the park this truly has become a sad world.
