Please once again, I need you more than ever to save the squirrels in my area from certain death.

Done. That pic of that beautiful red eating that pellet was stomach-churning. Our worst nightmare for our wild and/or released friends.

Hello My Dear Friends,

I want to share with you good a good new regarding the massive squirrel poisoning.

You will find encloses a screenshot as a return of communion from the adviser of our National parks:

Its a good news. We won. This poison will no longer be used.

On this special day of January 21. A special theme day, especially for wildlife and squirrel rehabilitators in the United States. It's Squirrel appreciation day! This day was born on January 21, 2001 following the initiative of a wildlife rehabilitator, Christy Hargrove, from North Carolina. His wish is that people learn more about these small mammals.

Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day…

keep up the great work. I love you TSB
