Hello Jim

That'd depend on the place I'd have thought. I'm pretty sure if I showed up at the local RSPA and said 'here' and dumped the squirrel in its cage on their counter, and then refused to take it away with me, they'd deal with it. Wtf do I know about injured squirrels? They're the animal experts not me. 'T'aint my squirrel. Just found an injured wild thing and took it to someone who might know what to do.

Gosh that's so humane of you Dana, make it someone else's problem.

Bruce is right though. They won't take it. I've been this route with the baby squirrels.

*grins* yup. I'm all heart. I was also working on the assumption that they probably have many very humane ways to get rid of such a creature. I have a bit of a soft spot for squirrels. I'm also a bit leary of supposedly humane execution methods, because of the experience with the little rat. Really stuck in my mind.

So far the car exhaust seems the best suggestion.
