Okay, on the outset I'll state the following, today is my dad's birthday and he's a heavy drinker on special occassions like today. So put 2 and 2 together and you'll see my following point.
This all happened while I'm at work today. My father was sitting outside on our porch when a squirrel ran up to his shoulder and sat there. It didn't run away or bite him. I'm assuming that is trained. Well, seeing how my dad is drunk already by mid-morning, he says that God gave him that squirrel as a gift and wants to keep it. Of course I know that it is illegal to keep a squirrel as a pet in NYC. Now apparantly after I made a few calls home to find out what's going on, my dad tells me tried to set it free outside our house and it ran back into our house(I call bullshit on this since I know how he is). Now I have to see how I can get rid of it. The options that I can determine are calling the ASPCA or Animal Control and let them take it; I get rid of it myself, set free or kill(which I don't want to do); or have the local authorities decide what to do with it, or finall keep the damn thing.
The whole point of this post was to see what you guys would do in such a situation. Oh forgot to mention that he is stubborn on the fact that he won't get rid of it. >.>
