I always wanted to rescue a Squirrel

The squirrel was euthanized today because it bit someone and they needed to check for rabies. So glad they saved that squirrel from a lifetime of uncertainty in the wild

I read that too, but no one's confirmed that's actually what happened. If it did, I'm seeing Peanut being "put down" seconds after the claimed bite. As in: action/reaction. Dead squirrel. Oh shit. Let's use the rabies excuse.

Yeah...I'm gonna believe a wild animal longs to be in the wild, hunted by other animals and always looking for food and shelter, VS being cared for in someone's home.

Yea Squirrels live pretty short brutish lives in the wild. They are pretty territorial and if you try to rehome them, the other squirrels in the area will gang up and kill it.
 
Sounds like BARF Extreme.
 
Thanks you guys , its great to share our thoughts on such a sensitive subject , our relationship with animals bring us great joy !

Icky the squirel.jpg

When I was younger sharing an apartment in Los Gatos, my roommate rescued a baby squirrel from a cat. We fed him milk and macadamia nuts. His name was Icky. He was the best pet ever. He never made a mess. He only bit a couple of the neighbors. We kept it secret from the manager. He would go outside with me every morning and jump onto this redwood tree. (Every now and then he would miss, and land in the ivy which I found amusing.) When I came home in the afternoon, I could call for him and he would came running. I would turn on the TV, and he would crawl under my shirt and take a nap. When he woke up, he would greet me, and then climb up on top of my head. As he got older, he started hanging out more and more with the other squirrels in the neighborhood and would only come home to eat and sleep. Eventually we moved, and I don't know what happened to him. But I think he had a pretty good life as far as squirrels are concerned.
 
Okay, fess up. . . . . who among you are virginal when it comes to generating road pizza, fauna flavored, and didn't think about it as far as the next traffic light?

This is what? The anti-cats/coyotes/raptors/rattlers crowd? Okay, then I'm in. . . thoughts and prayers for the furry tailed rodent. May Lady Karma bite his oppressors. (Geeze, the things I do to be accepted into a peer group.)
