SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- The squirrels will be going on the pill at a Southern California park.
Actually, the birth control hormones will be given by injection to the rodents in Palisades Park in Santa Monica.
Officials said the squirrels are breeding like rabbits. Many in the community don't want the squirrel population controlled by killing the animals.
So, officials said the birth control shots shouldn't upset the animal lovers.
This summer, the shots will be given to both the male and female squirrels in the park. |
