Mayor of New Orleans: 3 aggressive squirrels 'have been apprehended'
http://www.nola.com/pets/index.ssf/2017/09/new_orleans_squirrels_attacks.html#incart_river_home_popNew Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu used Twitter Wednesday night (Sept. 13) to weigh in on WWL's investigation into aggressive squirrels in Lake Vista and assure constituents the threat had not gone unanswered.
"We put our best team on the case," Landrieu tweeted to WWL's Paul Murphy, who reported the story from the scene. "And 3 of the squirrels in question have been apprehended."
The news came after the TV station reported earlier this week that squirrels had been attacking people in Lake Vista. In a follow-up report, WWL said the number of people targeted by squirrels in the neighborhood "may be as high as six," and shared footage of one attack "caught on camera." WWL reports at least three squirrels were subsequently captured after New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control put out traps near St. Pius Catholic Church.
FREE THE SQUIRRELS! Some damn Cajun will eat them!
