DEL MAR, Calif. -- Squirrels in Del Mar will soon be a little safer while roaming bushes and trees at local parks, 10News reported.
The Del Mar Parks and Recreation Commission voted to stop a squirrel eradication program that upset some animal rights activists.
The city had been using poison, baited traps to eliminate an over-population of squirrels, which can carry bubonic plague.
The commission voted Wednesday night to stop the poisoning in favor of trapping and euthenizing if needed.
They are also looking into squirrel birth control, 10News reported. |
