This was at least the second time this facility was attacked. In 2013 several hundred were released.

The black squirrels in Van Wert are invasive and were brought in from Canada by a local resident in the 1970s.

Me too. This is a town that is proud of their invasive black squirrels. Some random person imported them from Canada or Michigan and they have run off the native squirrel population.

It is my understanding that the natives were fox squirrels and the invasives are black colored eastern grey squirrels. I think those are different species.
