Eating Squirrels???

While studying for my qualifying exam one of my professors told me that I should subscribe to a Food Safety listserv from Kansas State. Every day via email I am sent the headlines about foodborne illness, food recalls, etc. It's kind of interesting and it's a great way to keep up to date on the latest happenings. And sometimes stories like these pop up: Green Foodies going nuts about squirrels" The gist of the story is that in London people are starting to purchase and consume squirrel meat. People are paying about $8.50 a squirrel. From what I gather, these are the same squirrels that we see scampering around the US.
