I’ll bet you didn’t know that today was Squirrel Appreciation Day. That’s right, January 21st has been given the distinct honor of being the day on which we show our appreciation for squirrel friends.
Christy Hargrove, a wildlife rehabilitator from North Carolina, is the proud founder of Squirrel Appreciation Day, which was started in 2001. It falls on January 21st, and while there are no official events scheduled, you can help celebrate by putting out extra food for the squirrels.
While it may be fun to show your squirrels a little extra lovin’ today, remember, it is illegal to keep a wild animal, such as a squirrel, without a permit in some states. Secondly, it’s not fair to the animal. If for no other reason, please consider the damage a squirrel could do to your house.
