Squirrels love Christmas tree lighting

Squirrels in the US city of Boston seem obsessed with dramatic lighting that adorns the large trees on the street.

The city officials speak of a plague. In the center of Boston and in particular in a historic park for about sixty strong, caparisoned Christmas trees. From one after another is coming on the light at night suddenly.

The administrator of the trees had invented a product based on cutting red peppers, but the squirrels take little heed of and gnaw cheerfully. The experts say the rodents are fond of the taste of the buyer.
