A 2004 study of grey squirrels who were live-trapped and relocated from suburban areas to a large forest showed that a staggering 97 percent of the squirrels either soon died or disappeared from their release area.
Relocating is a bad idea for many animals because they are unable to adapt to the new area quickly enough to survive. Most of them are killed by predators or starve/dehydrate. The den is gone, their food supply is gone, they don't know where to find water, ect. It would be like taking a person from one city to another and simply dumping them out with nothing. Everything known to them is suddenly gone.
