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

[Perdogg]

Bush’s fault!

[Abathar]

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

“100 World’s Worst Invasive Alien Species”

Desperately seeking self-control...

[CarrotAndStick]

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

:^)

[OpusatFR]

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

And then there's these:

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 ****.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

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

[Calvin Locke]

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".

[Anonymous Rex]

We have black squirrels in parts of Ohio.

[Waverunner]

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.

"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."

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

[tarheelswamprat]

Somebody just needs to start a “Squirrel & Chips” franchise...

[Proverbs 3-5]

Red Squirrels, Grey/Gray Squirrels... I thought we weren’t suppose to judges based on color.

[dighton]

A desperate bid to fend off this menace.

[trad_anglican]

I have a dream that one day a squirrel will be judged not by the color of his fur, but my the content of his character.

Really, there is no place in the modern world for this kind of xenophobic thinking.
