To those who heard it, the sound was described variously as being a shrill squeal, a flute-like blare, the screeching of car brakes, a steam whistle, a mechanical scream, metal scraping against metal, an off-kilter siren, or a banshee like moan, but it was agreed by all that no matter what exactly it sounded like it was a truly intense and nerve-wracking racket which purportedly kept people awake and was said to drive pets nuts.

The insanity of liberals on full display there.
Lordy yes! Very few animals make my Heeler scared. Even bears. But when my Rose caught wind of a Fischer, she made a u-turn to the barn or house. Fischers are extremely territorial and live alone. They don’t kill to just eat, they kill everything in their territory. That shriek is a message.
They just got a good look at what is going on out there.
