Prairie dogs had a problem with being trampled by buffalo. They tried various remedies, but none worked, and they kept getting squashed. So, they decided to hire the owl as a consultant and paid him a hefty sum for his services. Six months later, the owl presented a 247-page report, which suggested, among other things, that the prairie dogs reinforce their holes with steel and concrete and travel about in miniature tanks whose hulls would be electrified with high voltage to deliver painful shocks to the buffalos. The prairies dogs were dazzled by the level of detail in the proposal, and the committee chair praised the owl’s work. But then, one obscure committee member asked the owl how they could actually follow these suggestions. The owl grew irritated and said, “Look, you paid me to come up with an innovative solution to your problem. That’s what my firm does, and we met our end of the bargain—in great detail. But implementation is your responsibility.” And with that, he flew off to his next appointment.
I look forward to the squirrel heath PSA. I have noticed the tendency toward laziness among many in the local squirrel community. Squirrel Lives Matter people! Do your part to reduce VRSD.

'implementation is your responsibility.' Even the poor Prairie Dogs are savaged by consultants.
Three things that are unavoidable: death, taxes, consultants.
