Re: Squirrels...

Re: Squirrels...


So, how do they go about trapping and castrating all those male greys? Sounds to me as if this one needs to go back to the drawing board .....

Re: Squirrels...


I have a feeling this is not going to work! Too bad there isn't an "anti-Viagra" that could be put in food for them.......

Re: Squirrels...


.... and it only needs 1 uncastrated male .............

much more cost effective to cull the vermin.

No idea DM, I suppose they may catch a few, but cannot see them getting them all..

Re: Squirrels...


And I wonder how many vets are familiar with squirrel anatomy for the op; not to mention who's going to pay for it.......

Do you think this was actually a serious suggestion, or a hoax...it just doesn't make any sense ...
