I get why cities support crows, rats, raccoons, and other animals that eat our garbage, but squirrels don’t. What do cities offer squirrels?

Cities usually have a lot of trees, which gives shelter for the squirrels. There’s also usually an abundance of food/garbage/scraps for the squirrels to feed on. So, lots of opportunities for food and shelter, with far less natural predators than they would find in the wild.

Squirrels are just rats with fuzzy tails. Cities offer shelter and safety and food for the fuzzy tails.

Squirrels definitely eat garbage. Sometimes when I’m walking into work I get startled by a noise by the trash can and I’ll look over and it’s a squirrel rummaging through the trash. They scurry around the can, staying on the opposite side so I can’t see them.

Squirrels are tree rats, they will eat anything and are super tough. I have seen them fall more than 10 meters onto pavement and scamper away

Since squirrels are relatively safe from predators in cities and tend to over populate as a result, why is it illegal to trap them if they are being a nuisance?
