Members of an Iowa wildlife rehabilitation organization have returned two squirrels to their Waterloo neighborhood after removing electrical zip ties from around the necks of both and a bell from the neck of one. Dreama Bartz with the Black Hawk Wildlife Rehabilitation Project said Wednesday, May 30, 2018, that she captured two in traps after a man called earlier this month to report the odd sight. The two were released after the ties and bell were removed at a vet’s office and the vet determined they weren’t injured. Bartz thinks someone in the neighborhood captured the squirrels as infants and let them go months later, after realizing the frisky pair couldn’t be turned into pets.
