The Mystery of the Zip-tied Squirrel: A North Texas animal shelter is looking for answers
Garland Animal Services has released a series of questions to help guide the investigation.
"We will not tolerate cruelty toward ANY animal in Garland… wild or domestic," Garland's animal control and enforcement office said in a social media post. "This incident is serious, and we need your help."
The zip-tied squirrel was found near Pink Coffee, a gourmet coffee roastery and café at Buckingham and Shiloh. It received immediate veterinary care, removing the zip tie, and has been recovering at a local rescue group.
The incident left Garland Animal Services with some questions:
Anyone with information is urged to contact Garland Animal Services at (972) 205-3570 Option 2 or email animalservices@garlandtx.gov.
"Let's work together to protect all animals in Garland... big, small, wild, and domestic," the city agency said.
CBS News Texas will provide additional details as they become available.
