It’s a curious affliction, I know, but I don’t like squirrels. Actually, I should qualify that: squirrels are just fine in brunswick stew, braised with dumplings, or made into any number of tasty dishes. When they’re running around the yard eating stuff I’ve planted or put out for birds, though, they’re nasty little furry-tailed tree rats.

Friends and family have long made fun of my antipathy towards Sciurus Carolinensis, but now the truth about the long-toothed little hell rodents has come out: squirrels are dangerous. When the lives of little children and brave law-enforcement officers are at risk, I say it’s time to break out the stew-pot.
