Squirrels win and force Christmas lights to be removed from a park in Minnesota
The association Friends of Mears Park gave up. Its members gave up putting up lights this year in a park in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota, because they believe they lost the battle against a lovable adversary.
Squirrels on the spot bit the wires of the lights of last year, before which the supplier refused to face the expenses again.
But they did not do it out of malice. The cables were coated , as The Associated Press notes, with acid polylactic. It is derived from corn sugar that was delicious to the squirrels in the park.
As an alternative, the group resorted to a projector that illuminates in the shape of snowflakes and lights of colors. “People look from their apartments and want to see twinkling lights. Well, we can’t have flashing lights; it was probably this or nothing ”laments Ann LaBore, co-chair of the group of friends.
