ANIMAL COMPLAINT, DRAKE ROAD: Residents called police because they were trapped in their home by a temperamental squirrel.

The squirrel was desperate to get in the house, according to the residents. The squirrel kept jumping at the garage door and would run at the residents any time they opened a door.

20 guage w/ No. 8 would do the trick in freeing he trapped family, I would think.

Nothing a good pitching wedge couldn’t take care of.

Yes, I’ve direct experience, they share the same with all animals, respect of the gun!

[1rudeboy]

No man in the house, apparently.

I guess these helpless nanny-staters have never heard of an f#$@ing pellet gun?

Too bad the 911 operator disn’t just tell them “You’re letting a SQUIRREL keep you trapped inside your house? I guess you’re gonna die, you stupid jackass”.

AND the next one i sabout the people who DID NOT solve the problem of a slow turtle crossing the road, blocking traffic.

FWIW, it’s kinda hard to hit a squirrel with a stick, but using a tennis racquet WILL work ;-)

Don’t ask me how I know.

Am reminded of the squirrel in Over the Hedge... "I am a crazy rabid squirrel" (voice of Steve Carrell)

[dfwgator]

"SQUIRREL!"

[sunny48]

LOL

[sten]

golf?

baseball?

how about just backing the car out?

seriously... these people need to turn in their ‘top predator’ badge and relinquish calling themselves human beings.

[poobear]

I purchased a trap about a month ago and have since “relocated” about 3 dozen of those pesky tree rats. It’s just too easy. They simply can’t resist peanuts!

Haha. How pathetic. A whole family was cornered by an animal that is 1/50th the size of an individual human being.

Plan A ... shoot it. Anything that fires projectiles will due. Shotgun, handgun, pellet gun, crossbow, rubber-band gun, nerf gun, water pistol, water balloon slingshot. Hell ... a cap gun would probably scare the thing away.

Plan B ... hit it with something. Golf club, tennis racket, baseball bat, plank of wood, heavy boot, cast-iron skillet, nerf bat. If you’re too much of a girl to hit it from close range, throw something.

Plan C ... run. It can only take out one of you. With such a pitiful family, surrendering the slowest one shouldn’t be that big a deal.
