Second Squirrel Attack At Central Florida Retirement Community
NBC Miami ^ | 11/7

Posted on 11/07/2016 6:49:24 PM PST by nickcarraway

A squirrel is dead after the bloodthirsty animal targeted an elderly woman at a central Florida senior community.

Initial reports indicate the attack happened Monday at the Sterling Court Gracious Retirement Living in Deltona.

One week ago, at least three seniors were attacked by a squirrel at the same complex.

The victim in the second attack suffered bites, scratches and a broken wrist after she fell while trying to defend herself from the squirrel, witnesses said.

A staff member shot and killed the squirrel with a BB gun.

Health officials are testing the animal for rabies.

Stupid squirrels never check their backblast area and wind up burning their tails off.

It really makes them angry and they then really get into the fight. You do not want to go up against a pis--d of squirrel with a burning tail.

Remind Granny not to handle Armadillos barehanded. Many of them are capable of passing Leprosy bacteria onto humans.

Correct, 15% of them are infected. One of the problems during drug trials was to find an animal that could contract leprosy. They found out that armadillos could and they became part of the drug trials many years ago.

The little fella on the right. Looking at the size of his rucksack, I understand why he’s not standing up straight. That’s quite a load he’s carrying.
