A Patterson man was arrested Monday for allegedly trapping squirrels and spray-painting them red, according to the Putnam County SPCA.
The SPCA said the county’s probation department notified the organization and New York State Environmental Conservation police that a 62-year-old man had been trapping squirrels in metal cages and dying them “Apple Red” using a spray paint can. More
was that wrong? should he not have done that? what ordinance did he violate? those squirrels identified as apples, he was helping them transition.
Whut, ya never heard of red squirrels?
Was it florescent? Glow in the dark red squirrels. I’m down.
I hear they call the black squirrels in NH “Squiggas”; maybe that has something to do with it.
If my dog could climb trees there would be few of them around here.
If he used Lacquer he be a taxidermist!
At least we have Twiggy:

Make that a Redneck Taxidermist…
Meanwhile, the government funded animal research people can paint, brand, stamp and pierce all the animals they want.

You know why a crazy person does what he does?
Neither does he.
Squirrel is a member of the rat family.
They have scratched and completely dug thru my overhead door trim. They scratched a hole thru the shingles on my roof, dug holes and ripped out flowers in my flower pots and the one day I saw one sitting on top of the front tire of my new truck. They come out as bad as the racoons. Use to trap them and take them out to the country at about a rate of 2 a day. Finally solved the problem with rat poison mixed with peanut butter, took nearly three years to get rid of them but I finally did.
“The accused said he released the squirrels at another location in the town after painting them.”
He was doing animal research investigating squirrel’s ability to navigate and find their way home.
If he had taken them to some local public hunting land, released them and immediately shot them that would be OK…
I am color blind so the difference would have little effect on me, but I do care about the over-dressed rodents and as long as they don’t harass me, there will be no problem.
maybe he misunderstood the squirrel with red-eye gravy recipe instructions
Maybe this guy is just plain nuts about squirrels.
Had a buddy trapping squirrels on his property and relocating them about 5 miles away at a nature preserve. He thought that the same squirrels were returning to pilfer his bird feeders.
He painted one purple before release. The purple squirrel showed up a day after it had been relocated.
Squirrels must have a homing instinct. Who knew…..
I had a buddy who would ask people if they wanted to see his impression of a squirrel scratching its nuts.
Then he’d blow out his cheeks and scratch his face!
I had my next door neighbor and the other neighbor next to him cut all of the trees in their backyards. The squirrel population quadrupled overnight. They were eating and gnawing on everything. I borrowed my neighbors 22LR bolt action that had a can on it. I used 22 short sub sonic bullets and got 18 squirrels in just over an hour. I ended up getting 63 squirrels in 10 days where I got the balance of squirrel to natural food back to where it should be. FYI: one shot, one kill. A scoped rifle is easy but a pistol is the challenge.

The squirrels are huffing.
Red is probably his favorite color and the nutcase is an inspired avant-garde artist.
The squirrels are live, free canvases that can be seen all over the community, going about their business, although a little toxic. More squirrely than usual.
What could be the problem? LOL!
He should have bleached them blonde.
Step 1) Fill 18 gallon Sterlite Tote half-way with Clorox.
Step 2) Submerge squirrel cage in said tote for one minute.
Step 3) If squirrel is still alive, then return to Step 2;
Step 3) else remove squirrel from said cage.
Step 4) Leave dead blonde squirrel on neighbor, Karen-
Step 4) the-Cat-lady’s stoop.
Step 5) Aquire MOAR squirrels.
Alternate Theory. Dowse squirrel tail with lighter fluid. Ignite. Squirrel tail goes “Woof” like a dog. Squirrel with flaming tail chases Karen-the-Cat-Lady’s kitties around the neighborhood.

We have red squirrels here called boomers. They are already red and big as shit. 3 times the size of a gray squirrel. And they are smart.
Jennifer and I came home and there was a dead boomer under my F600. The dogs were all around him. He was all sticky and dead. His eyes were glazed over and he was stiff.
I said, “Muffuckers kilt the boomer, how sad?” I picked him up to throw him in the burn barrel and he twisted around in my hand and shot off into the trees as fast as a bullet. I shit my trousers and screamed like a little girl.
I like red skwirls ….
they talk to me ……………..

takes too much paint to cover an obiden-votuh, plus disposal is a problem
