Manage episode 483872984 series 3261967
Trigger warning: This episode discusses euthanasia that may cause distress to some listeners. Please tune in with caution.
Cartoons and films portray squirrels as cute, furry, and playful creatures. In real life, certain species of squirrels are serious threats to the country’s biodiversity.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has been trying to fight the unregulated proliferation of invasive squirrels in the country for over a decade, but their efforts remain unsuccessful. Anna Cabrera of PAWS, Jana Sevilla of PETA Asia, and Prof. Emilia Lastica-Ternura of the UPLB College of Veterinary Medicine discuss the ways to deal with the invasive squirrel problem.
