I had to share this article here because of our resident squirrel hater. ;D
https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/06/when-squirrels-attack/531129/
Some juicy exerts:
QuoteThere was, for example, the California squirrel that went on a biting spreeâ€"attacking at least eight people last year. And the squirrel that injured three people in a senior center in November. Newspaper archives have plenty of examples of squirrels terrorizing people. A Long Island squirrelâ€"undeterred by a milk bottle thrown in his directionâ€"was eventually shot and killed when he tried to attack some school children in 1921, The New York Times reported that year.
QuoteConsider the 1878 story of a gray squirrel who charged toward a farmer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, “legs wide spread and tail flaunting as he ran, concentrating all the terror of his little [body] into the loudest war-whoop.†This was apparently a squirrel with some degree of notoriety, the newspaper reported. “Last fall, the same squirrel attacked a laborer on the farm, and mutilated his face in a horrible manner."
Fun fact: NYC (yes, the very same) celebrates Squirrel Appreciation Day on 1/21. Maybe head out of town that weekend, Howie. ;)
I will stand my ground. The little bastards will not win.
It is worse than you think!
