Myth: Squirrels are nothing more than bushy-tailed rats.
Fact: Although squirrels and rats are both rodents, they are nowhere near related. Above is just like saying that humans are tailless lemurs.
Myth: Squirrels have no brain 'cause they're always running into the street.
Fact: Squirrels are smart creatures which are often misunderstood. Squirrels often run into the street probably to try to confuse the drivers.
Myth: Squirrels have no right to invade people's houses or gardens.
Fact: Squirrels have every right. They were here first.
Myth: Squirrels reproduce rapidly and sport hunting is how to control them.
Fact: The rate squirrels reproduce is a result of sport hunting rather than a cause because they adapted. Squirrel reproduction rate will eventually slow down if people stop shooting them, and there will still be no population problem. Thus, hunting is not a solution to a problem, but a commitment to a permanent problem.
