Rebecca Dmytryk said this to a reporter for the LA Times knowing it'd be picked up. She wants people to shoot squirrels or crush their skulls. This is really horrible advice. It's also totally wrong. You don't need written permission from every neighbor. You can trap and release squirrels on site or close to where found. You are allowed to let Eastern Fox squirrels free. They have not been deemed a pest species. California ground squirrels are pest species. This is what I mean about her horrible advice.

"Rebecca Dmytryk of WildRescue, a nonprofit dedicated to wildlife preservation, told me no homeowner can trap a wild animal in California without written permission from every neighbor within 150 yards. And, she said, you can't relocate a non-indigenous animal that you've trapped, because it might then compete with a native animal — such as the Western gray squirrel.
So what are you supposed to do?
"You can legally euthanize," Dmytryk said.
Here we are, back to squirrel stew.
"As long as you legally trap it and legally, humanely euthanize it and it has been deemed a pest species."
So let's review: You can trap and kill a squirrel, but not release it into a park? By the way, how do you humanely kill a squirrel?
You might shoot it, Dmytryk said, or use "blunt trauma to the head." Yeah, that sounds humane."
