Martyrdom of the Squirrel

[FlyersFan]

while killing innocent animals makes me sad, I can't help feeling that the animal was used instrumentally by its owner to make money.]\

Disagree.
The man is heartbroken.   And ticked off.
I'd be trying to get $$ to hire lawyers to sue the officials as well.
This story disgusts me.  
An example of big government with no common sense.
I hope this man grinds the people responsible into the dirt beneath his feet.

Growing up I had neighbors who had a pet squirrel.
Like PNut, this squirrel was rescued when young.
It was very attached to the family.
When they had the squirrel for a few years, they went on vacation.
They had the neighbor come in to feed the squirrel.
The squirrel died while the family was gone ... 
We all believe it died of a broken heart, it didn't understand they were coming back.
