LOL at “animal rights” disclaimer at the top.

TBH I didn’t think this was any worse than playing with a pet cat or other creature by dangling strings etc in front of it, the squirrels get free food and the students get some cool photos. (squirrels aren’t easy to photograph!)

I reckon if we did it in England someone would complain, and we’d all get ASBOS (the squirrels as well!) 😀
