Tried saving a squirrel last week. It was about 6-7 weeks old by it’s size, and seemed like it was in trouble. Came crawling up to me. So I carried it to the house, built a large squirrel cage thing, with straw/shelter and food/water. It just constantly kept sleeping. Like it was exhausted. Sadly, sometime in the night it just died? It looked so comfortable just lying there. Not sure what happened? My plan was to nurse it back to health and once it got springy I was gonna let it out. The pen I built was fairly large so it woulda been comfortable for a month or so easily. Wish I knew what happened.
What happened was that a compassionate, loving, kind soul saw a small lil forest person in trouble...and gave it a comforting, quiet, safe place to Go Back Home.
From my own experiences like this, the squirrel kits can have problems of all sorts, and the best we can do is be kind to them. When one approaches with trust and needing help, it is rare and beautiful. I know the confusion and not knowing can hurt. You did your best. And it may have been the exact one thing that was needed, even though that isn't what we prefer the outcome to be.
Thank you. I did try for sure. I asked God afterwards…did I do something wrong? What could I have done better? I felt like there was a lesson I missed or something small perhaps I wasn’t paying attention to. Once I found him I spent the rest of the day into the night building his pen while he slept. It seems perfect. The message I got later the next day after finding him passed away was…these things are in God’s control. His will. I tried and that was enough. And knowing this, would I try again of another walked up again? Absolutely I said. Then that’s all that’s needed. For me to accept God’s plan, trust in Him and keep trying. I thanked Him for his amazing creations and for the opportunity to try and help. I buried him out by the trees where I found the little guy. Back to your creator little fella. ❤️
Every creature I ever cared for or lived with or loved, no matter how long or short they lived, I always, ALWAYS thought this after.
You are right: these things are in God's control, we try to align with that. And heal our hearts so when the next opportunity comes...we can meet it.
A candle is lighted here in the rainforest for you and your little fren...and another for Mark Longo. It is very clear he was deliberately attacked through harming a vulnerable, beloved, innocent friend. Utter evil.
Imagine, with everything else going on, deciding to spend the time and energy to investigate, file paperwork, send authorities to get the squirrel, and then hire a vet to kill it. All to stop a man from taking care of a squirrel. What possessed people to do this?
I didn't know until about an hour ago that the squirrel had about a million followers on the web. They said it was the most famous squirrel in the world and the owner used it to raise funds to feed his other animals. It was an indoor squirrel for over seven years.
Certainly not a threat all that time until suddenly four agencies and a judge need to raid the guys house and seize a squirrel and a raccoon. Absolute madness.
They had a warrant signed by a judge and there were (IIRC) six Jackboots looking for the squirrel and his pal, a raccoon. The 5-0 nabbed 'em before they could lam it.
Breaks my heart. We had a baby squirrel once, whose mother was hit by a car. We named him Dumplin and he lived in our house, used a litter box, adapted very well. When he got old enough, we decided we should expose him to the outdoors. I fixed him a little nesting area under our very tall front porch ceiling that he could easily access by climbing a wooden pole. As soon as I let him outside, he jumped down off the front porch, ran across the front yard and into the woods and we never saw him again. My heart soared, especially because he would bark at me from his tree across our yard every time I went outside. He was my wild child, indeed.
As many people call me the squirrel whisperer, my timeline is infested with squirrel posts. I thought this was a sick joke at first. People are really passed off and sad.

Bless you for trying to save this baby! 🐿️🙏🤍
Doom on those fuckers.
So nice to know that in New York crime is so under control they have time to take care of the little things. /s

I can't imagine what would make someone do this. The whole thing is cray cray AF.
Somebody had to report him. Why would they look or care otherwise?

Government needs to be shrunk to smaller than a peanut.
This was about nothing but sheer infliction of force. A display of state power.

Power trip and intimidation and cruelty.
Yes...🤬🤬🤬
I would have hid him and told them he ran away.
They had a warrant signed by a judge and there were (IIRC) six Jackboots looking for the squirrel and his pal, a raccoon. The 5-0 nabbed 'em before they could lam it.
This makes me FURIOUS!! 🤬🤬🤬
He should make them famous. Utter scum.
Government robots must die, they don’t have souls.

May they all burn in Hell.🔥
You sound like my wife every time she sees a murdered squirrel or other animal in the road. She adds torture before the trip to hell.
Hug your sweet wife for me...she has a tender heart! 🙏🤍
Big brother is always watching.
comms?
Possibly...

It’s very sad, unnecessary and given they murdered the innocent creature, nothing but a deranged satanic show of force.
All involved in this should be made famous. Shun them in their communities for the depraved power mad degenerates they are.
