Park Officials Try Birth Control Method To Curb Squirrel Population

In a bid to control the ever-growing population of squirrels, officials at Santa Monica's Palisades Park are injecting them with birth control medicine. The squirrels will be injected with an immuno-contraceptive vaccine meant to stunt sexual development as a form of birth control.

The officials decided to opt for this method of birth control after other methods like euthanasia; poison or gassing failed to control their population. There are around 1,000 squirrels in the Park that can be aggressive and dangerous to the health of people they come in contact with.
