Squirrels are one step above rats; disease carrying rodents. They’d gnaw on your jugular if given the chance. Don’t turn your back on them.

On the flip side, they’re so damn cute.

They are evil. If you are what you eat, then they certainly are nuts. How many other creatures would see hundreds of giant shiny beasts roaring by them and think, “Yeah, I can totally make it across.” None that’s who. That’s why Frogger’s so hard.

Wise ass… that’s what I get.
I didn’t say I want to be nice to squirrels. I still don’t trust them. That one probably got itself hurt on purpose, just to screw with my head. They do that kind of stuff, you know.

No, I read it. I know you didn’t want it to suffer, and I’m feeling sympathy for the little headless squirrel. The worms, however are useful and help decompose things to keep the earth working well. All the squirrels used to do to me were steal the walnuts off the tree in my backyard and then drop the broken shells all over, causing me pain when I’d go out there barefoot as a young tot. I don’t think they cared about my pain. Not one bit.

I’m sorry for the previous upsetting comments, and will work with the head of the Squirrel Committee for Rights to Run Across Streets to make some PSA’s and hopefully bring some new awareness to what could be a beautiful new world of Human/Squirrel relations. And for what it’s worth, I probably wouldn’t have been able to run it over either.

Didn’t Danny read what I wrote? I can’t leave a frickin WORM on the sidewalk without trying to help it. One time I had a fish that was obviously dying, and I ended up calling the vet, then UC Davis, to see what I could do for it.
Danny’s missing the point, which is this: I didn’t want the thing to suffer. I was glad when I saw it crushed only because I’d seen it writhing around in pain, and I couldn’t stomach running it over. There was no fixing this little guy.
And what is Taco Charlie talking about? Please clairify…

So the moral is, just run over everything. Right? ‘Cause I want to make sure I get the Beastmaster’s lesson correct.

Sorry, that may be harsh. OK, I hope that when the squirrels head exploded, it didn’t feel pain.

That was mortifying. I came home from work at like 10 pm and someone had just run over a cat in front of my house. I scooped it up off the ground and ran it to the emergency clinic where it died pretty quickly. My sister who runs a veterinary clinic thought I was crazy, but I couldn’t just leave it there…I COULDN’T!!!!! I cried and cried over a cat I never knew. It taught me to NEVER do that again!!! One of my neighbors told the actual owner of the cat what I had done and she came over with a gift to thank me and we cried and cried again. Stupid animals!!! Why do they do this to us. For how humane Gary Bouge is, he has a much better grip on the whole situation than I!!!! I’m glad you didn’t have to kill the squirell..I probably would have taken it to the emergency clininc..I’m crazy, I know!
