Dear Editor:
RE: Save the squirrels, June 13.
As a longtime wildlife rescuer – including many injured and orphaned squirrels – I commend Sebastian Krewenki for taking the time to advocate on their behalf.
Whenever I pass a dead squirrel on the road, I think of all the food they worked so hard to store in anticipation of the colder seasons to come. They had plans, just like we do. Simpler plans, sure, but they lived in anticipation of a future. A future that was almost always cut short because someone was driving just a bit faster than they needed to be.
Speaking of the future: if young people like Sebastian are out there, I think all of us (squirrels included) are in great hands.
