At first I thought it said Gay squirrels, and I thought “Yep, someone knee jerking on FR again...”

Substitute grey squirrel with Muslim and red squirrel with civilized Christian and this story makes even better sense to me.

Perhaps they should introduce the Malabar giant squirrel to counter the grey ones. They are as big as domestic cats.

They aren’t bad. Just a lot of tiny bones. Fried is very good with a savory sauce.

They were constant reminders of the horrible toll non-native species so often have on native wildlife and natural systems and our ethically criminal complicity in facilitating these tragedies.

We have "ethically criminal complicity" because of something that happened in the 1800's? What a pile of ****.

I'll drink to that! (No squirrels were harmed in the making of this beer.)

The then-wife bought me a book titled something like "101 Ways to Deal with Squirrels".

While it wasn't all that positive in the end, it did offer some historical stories on the "Great Ohio Squirrel Migration", what the Park Service does about squirrels in Lafayette Park in DC, etc.

At least the article was refreshing on not blaming "global warming".

I wish I knew how to post the picture of the Python that died after swallowing a six foot gator.

For folks that jet ski in the black water areas, they are a hazard.

What crap. Different species have been "invading" different ecological niches as long as there have been species to do so.
