BTW, where the heck is ROXRAN?! Squirrel Terrorizes Town LONDON (Reuters) - A squirrel is spreading terror in a Cheshire town where it keeps attacking people. Its latest victim was a two-year-old girl, British newspapers reported on Thursday. Children have been attacked, grown men chased and residents of Knutsford, central England, are fearful of letting their kids out to play, the Times newspaper said. The rogue squirrel's latest attack was on toddler Kelsi Morley who was bitten on the forehead. "It was awful because she (Kelsi) was spinning around and we couldn't get it off," her mother told the newspaper. "From the amount of blood there was, I thought it had taken Kelsi's eye out." The squirrel eventually let go and the terrified youngster was rushed to a doctor. Colin Booty, a senior scientific officer in the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said it was very unusual for a squirrel to behave like this. Local resident Blanche Kellye said the problem was not funny. "Everyone round here is living in fear...it's a vicious little thing. I'll never trust squirrels again."
I'm sorry...but that story is hilarious! You know it definitely didn't take place in Texas because there would have been a second half to the story where all of the townfolk created a posse to hunt down the little critter. Any excuse to get their guns out and go squirrel huntin'! Maybe ROXRAN is on a plane over to England to help those guys out!
"It had teeth like this!" Hilarious story! Thanks for posting it! Chris "I'll never trust squirrels again" LOL!!!!!!
Never to fear, the Brits will get the little miscreant...I mean, it will understandably take time; they'll have to arrange an afternoon that's convenient for all concerned, preferably a Sunday outing in the Spring, and not too chilly, mind. And transport will have to be arranged, and of course there's the horses...Riding crops, boots, halters, et al will have to be polished just so, and the red or black jackets ( no green, please! ) will have to be freshly brushed....and the dogs can be such a trial heading into one of these events. Nevertheless, come some sunny Sunday morning, the horns will sound, the hounds will howl,and the cries of "Tally-Ho!" will ring out over the hushed green hills of Cheshire and in due course the offending rodent will surely meet his maker...It's just a matter of making the appropriate schedule...( pronounced she-dule, of course)...
The Brittish disarmed their citizens and left them defenseless against criminals and squirrels alike. -Note to the squirrels living in the tree in my front yard- Don't get any ideas, I'm armed.
A squirrel thread is open for five hours and there is not one post of a squirrel pic or a single appearance by ROXRAN. What has the Hangout come to, my entire world view is collapsing. Mommy.
This reminds me of Christmas Vacation with the squirrel/dog chase scene. We should send Eddie (Randy Quaid) over there.
holy crap, i think this squirrel's cousin must live in Austin. While surfing the web, I noticed a FAT squirrel sitting on my balcony staring at me through the window. Now not chubby fat, but morbidly obese. If there was a Guiness Book of World Records for the squirrel kingdom, this guy would be one of those fat twins on the moped. When I first noticed it, I laughed. Soon I realized the thing wasn't moving. It stared at me intensely, with malice and evil in his eyes. I tapped the window expecting it to scurry off, but it just sat there... laughing at my weak taunts. Finally I got up and walked out on my balcony, expecting it to run away. Well, it did run away, but it ran towards my feet faster than a teenager in his dad's Porsche. With panic in my eyes it suddenly made a sharp 90 degree turn and hurled its fat body onto the closest tree. It looked like Oprah Winfrey attacking an All-You-Can-Eat buffet. I've never been more freaked out!
Be on the lookout for this animal! A squirrel, similar to the one shown in this file photo, is spreading terror in a Cheshire town where it keeps attacking people.
