Hawaii is uniquely qualified to be a case study of how non native flora and fauna wreck havoc on indigenous evironments. There are so many species brought there by good or bad purposes that you hardly recognize the place anymore.Well the article said they feared it had rabies sooooo my guess is that rather than spend several bucks to test the squirrel ( I think rabies tests involve killing the suspected carrier anyway) they sent it West so to speak. Also Hawaii has VERY strict laws regarding non native plants and animals that could destroy native habitats and animals. Just my hypothesis.
I heard they put it out of it's misery because it had gotten ill from eating too much airline food.
