NJ Women fined $500 for taking care of abandoned baby squirrels

"We left the babies in the cage outside for 24 hours. [The mother] never came back. I brought them in, kept them warm, bottle fed them," Vaccarella told WABC-TV.

Vaccarella said she contacted registered wildlife rehabilitators, but couldn't find anyone with room for the babies, which she dubbed George and Lola.

I hate some people very much.



Now watch some goody2shoes come along with the condescending, "I don't hate anyone."

refused to give them up. I wish we could find out what happened to them. I hope they didn't euthanize them.

these squirrels and their human mom, please let me know.

I had "pet"squirrels for a few years. My critters were so spoiled that they'd body slam our kitchen eating area windows demanding I feed them immediately. Our Lab puppy, now 8mo, eventually came to view them as prey and they figured that out. I miss the little critters.

I couldn't imagine being slapped with a huge fine and threatened with jail just over saving wildlife. That is so wrong! Some idiot authoritarian(s) just wanting to flex control.
