We had one of those pet squirrels that would climb up our legs onto an arm to eat peanuts. It was so cute and adorable. Never bit us or anything aggressive. This was at our camper in the woods.
Then one weekend I went to the camper alone, went inside and discovered the drawer where the peanut bag was kept had a hole chewed into it. Further investigation revealed a hole chewed in the belly.
I shot the squirrel which resolved the issue.
The squirrel must have been a democRat.
