In Kentucky, they’d just kill ‘em and eat their brains.

At one time squirrel head stew was considered the state delicacy in Arkansas. (Best served with rice).

i think my post #18 puts it is prospective. What if we treated humans like squirrels or garter snakes and protected them because they had differences. For example, Do my green eyes put me in a separate protected class as opposed to a brown eyed person? I am rarer thus should be protected? Right?

I ran over two small garter snakes the day before yesterday while mowing....Hated it really...because I generally like snakes.

It happens.....

I tried googling "Mount Graham" but all I get is registration information for an Elton John celebrity cruise featuring Lindsey Graham

Well, some of them might be illegal alien squirrels . . .
Our governor and legislature ought to be very ashamed of themselves.

Are the coyotes who eat the squirrels too dumb to use these bridges as a trap?.... Yes!....

Aren’t they going to need another $5mil to train the squirrels on how to find and use the bridge?

Now isn’t THAT interesting. ABC news is suddenly taxpayer dollar WASTE conscious!! Where have they been for the past year and a half with Hussein’s monumental federal debt?? Of course it COULD just be a coincidence that the network is trying to ridicule/assault Brewer in Arizona. Uh huh.

I wonder how they are going to keep the plain ol' squirrels from using the bridges. Those bridges are for special squirrels. Of course they could have a squirrel amnesty and then they would all be special, but it seems like $1.25 wouldn't be enough then.
