That is one of the most appauling things I have ever heard of. Those 2 animals had a good life and could have lived it out. They did nothing wrong, yet they were taken away from the safe homes and killed. I have known many people that took in squirrels, raccoons, possums, rabbits and raised them. I myself found a rabbit that lived in my house til it died after 5 years. It had a longer life with me than it would have had living on the outside. Whoever made the decision to kill these helpless little animals, should be fired and never allowed to hold another position where animal welfare is at stake. They should never be allowed to have any animals. If they do they go to jail. Maybe their children should be taken away from them. Because it seems pretty ovious that nothing is safe around that person.
