TO THE EDITOR:
I picked up the DTH on my way to class and was infuriated upon reading the article about the squirrel.
Taking a squirrel from its natural habitat should never ever be glorified and glamorized the way it was.
On Sunday morning as my friends and I went to go eat breakfast at Rams, the most unusual thing happened. As I opened the door to Rams Dining Hall a baby squirrel ran very close to my friend’s feet.
As I proceeded to go inside with the intention of eating, my two friends stayed outside as a small crowd gathered. I quickly realized this and went back outside.
My friend said that we had to do something. The poor baby squirrel was not acting normal.
It was too friendly, looked lost and could not seem to find its way back to the trees or grass.
We got the baby squirrel into the grass and began to call animal control, who did not pick up as it was Sunday.
We then called a rehabilitation center. We put the baby squirrel in a box, and two of my friends walked the box to Winston. Three of my friends then delivered the baby squirrel to the rehabilitation service in Hillsborough, where the woman in charge rehabilitates squirrels so that they can be released back into the wild.
