Email this PetitionThis petition is very simple- YET URGENT!! There are squirrels that have gotten aggresive at Cuesta park in Mountain View. The city's soulution is to first lay traps and then kill the squirrels rather than to relocate them to the open natural spaces only a few miles away. This is such an easy fix. Catch the squirrels and move them to a wildlife setting rather than killing them.Please sign to tell the city of Mountain View what they are doing is wrong!

| 865 | 9:02 am PDT, Mar 22 | Emma Jones | Wolverhampton | Relocating is the best option. The squirrels are just doing what comes naturally to them when their home is invaded.I think people forget that all animals are still have wild instincts, no matter whether they're big, small or domesticated. Please stop unneccessary killings. | |

| 859 | 11:46 pm PST, Mar 3 | Ms. | Jenny Wild | Polokwane | Why kill????? ~ just relocate them. |
| 858 | 8:56 pm PST, Mar 1 | Anonymous | Palo Alto | Killing a handful won't stop the rest from retaliating. Try other, less lethal methods, like moving them in small groups. Squirrels are not very territorial and change mates often, so an increase of squirrels in say, Foothill Park, would not effect the life of any other squirrels there. And there are natural predators there. We should stop playing the role of God. We're bad at it. | |
| 857 | 12:25 pm PST, Mar 1 | Anonymous | pasadena | please just relocate them!!! | |
| 856 | 3:38 pm PST, Feb 28 | Myron Mcveigh | Keokuk | why should they? it is ridiculous to kill such a gentle animal | |
| 855 | 9:16 pm PST, Feb 26 | Bree Exquisite | Denver | Relocation to wild areas after trapping is trivially simple. Killing is unnecessary. The animals only require a reliable source of food. | |
| 853 | 7:04 pm PST, Feb 24 | Mr. | Patrick Smiley | San Jose | Relocation to wild areas after trapping is trivially simple. Killing is unnecessary. The animals only require a reliable source of food. |
| 852 | 2:29 pm PST, Feb 22 | B Myers | Mountain View | Take the dogs there and never observed agressive squirrels. Story sounds very fishy. | |
| 851 | 2:28 pm PST, Feb 22 | N Myers | Mountain View | I don't believe this story of biting squirrels. Some people just don't like squirrels in the park. |
STOP- Mountain View Plans To Kill Aggressive Squirrels
Dear Ms.Forsberg-Deputy City Manager,
I urge you to please read the petition and see how many people feel as I do about your city killing innocent squirrels. They can be moved just easily instead of destroying them. As you know there is pleanty of open spaces where they can be relocated. I live in the bay area and I am so hurt by your city's plans to just disreguard wildlife. They are all God's creatures large or small. I have grown up in the bay area and when hearing this on the local news I truly was ashamed.
The signers of this petition love animals request that you please move the squirrels that are becomming agressive in the Cuesta Park.
These animals have been fed everyday from humans. That is why they have no fear to come close and then when frightend they scratch. Please catch them and release them into the hills at Ed Levin park or other wildlife area where they will have pleanty of room to run free without having contact with children.
Killing these animals is inhumane and cruel.
Please stop this plan today. I thank you for your time.
