Important Note – Legal Considerations

It’s crucial to be aware that catching or trapping a live squirrel and releasing it elsewhere, such as a park or local fields, is illegal. If you capture a squirrel, the legal obligation is to dispatch it in a humane manner. Additionally, you must take responsibility for its well-being, providing food and water to prevent suffering.

Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, anyone responsible for a squirrel trap is accountable for any animal caught by it. It’s an offense to cause unnecessary suffering to a captured animal. The Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) also makes it illegal to introduce and release grey squirrels into the wild.
