| Squirrels -- Why do they hate dogs? |
| 2005-12-02 |
| BBC: salt as needed. EFL. Squirrels have bitten to death a stray dog which was barking at them in a Russian park, local media report. Passers-by were reportedly too late to stop the attack by the black squirrels in a village in the far east, which reportedly lasted about a minute. They are said to have scampered off at the sight of humans, some carrying pieces of flesh. He-he-he-he. And your little dog, too! A pine cone shortage may have led the squirrels to seek other food sources, although scientists are sceptical A "big" stray dog was nosing about the trees and barking at squirrels hiding in branches overhead when a number of them suddenly descended and attacked, reports say. "They literally gutted the dog," local journalist Anastasia Trubitsina told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper. Komosmolskaya Pravda notes that in a previous incident this autumn chipmunks terrorised cats in a part of the territory. |

| #13 Tell me when Bullwinkle gets it. Your squirrel joke for the day: A four star general is set to review a revolutionary camouflage technique. The soldiers have been deployed into the reviewing field and have assumed their cover. The general arrives and gazes out over a field seemingly filled with nothing but trees, shrubs, bushes and other assorted flora. The presiding captain shouts, "Ten-hut!" Suddenly, all the vegetation vanishes and out of the peaceful field rises a fully armed combat squadron standing at attention with arms presented. At a second command of "Positions!" they all melt back into the placid pastoral scene just as before. The general turns to the captain with fulsome praise on his lips, but before he can speak, one of the trees runs screaming off of the review field. The captain hurriedly ushers the general down to the officer's club for some drinks and then returns to the squadron's barracks demanding to see the soldier who had abandoned his position. In a loud voice the captain demanded exactly what was this soldier's major malfunction. The soldier replied, "Sir, I didn't mind it when the birds sh!t in my hair. I endured it when the dog trotted over and pissed on my leg. But when those two squirrels came up and one said to the other, 'let's eat one now and save the other for winter', it was just too much, SIR!" |

| #8 When will the Russian media stop their policy of racial profiling?!? These squirrels were clearly upset over the inequality of their situation. |

| #7 Squirrels are just tree rats with a good P.R. firm. I half expected those nut checking squirrels in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" to rip that little girl to pieces. |

| #5 I showed this article to a friend and he said: Oh, sure, the media report this because they're black squirrels. They wouldn't report it if they were white. |
