Baby squirrels found on Conn. train tracks with tails broken, braided together
“We cannot stress this enough: PLEASE LEAVE WILDLIFE ALONE!!!”
Four baby squirrels were found lying on Connecticut train tracks with their tails “tangled, braided, and purposefully tied together,” according to a local animal hospital.
All of the squirrels are alive, according to a Facebook post from the Kensington Bird & Animal Hospital, but their tails are broken and some might have to be amputated.
“We cannot stress this enough: PLEASE LEAVE WILDLIFE ALONE!!!” the post read.
The organization said though tail knotting can happen naturally, these animals’ tails were braided and tied together by a “human made object.”
“Animal abuse is never ok,” the post read. “If you see something please report it!”
The animal hospital confirmed it reported the incident to authorities.
