I think that people will look at that and think that’s a step too far…. I find it really abhorrent to see the sort of campaign that’s been raised now on a really sensitive issue.
I’m concerned to see young kids involved in a debate like this.
There was a good point made in some of the commentary that I saw, that these young people are at an age that they haven’t actually lived long in the life to experience the competing issues that adults have to confront in their lifetime.

I think that in general, rodents are far more intelligent than people give them credit for. This squirrel obviously has some really good problem solving abilities. Lab rats have been proven to have something between the ears too. Too bad squirrels aren’t allowed to be kept as pets. There would probably be a lot more examples of squirrel IQ if there were more of them in captivity. There is one squirrel that I saw on TV who was taught to water ski. A tiny toy boat and little tiny water skis and a little thing for the squirrel to hold on to. That little critter really water skied. It was cute.
