TV GIRL SOUASHED MY BABY SOUIRREL May 28 2005
A REPORTER sent to do a story about a baby squirrel stood on the fluffy creature by mistake and killed it.
Inka Blumensaat wanted to tell how a pet cat had saved the orphaned squirrel by adopting it as her own.
But the friendly rodent jumped on her leg as she filmed her report and she panicked and trampled it underfoot,breaking its neck.
Heike Reher, whose cat adopted the squirrel in Lubeck, Germany, said: 'The reporter started leaping about like a mad woman. She squashed the squirrel completely.
'Everyone looked at the floor in horror where the little squirrel lay in a pool of blood.
'I picked my little treasure up and ran out of the house in tears. I was so upset I could not speak.
'The reporter came back with some flowers but I could not speak to her.'
Inka, who works for NDR TV, said: 'I regret the whole thing bitterly and wish there was something I could do to put it right
A reporter saw a baby and couldn't understand why it didn't have its brains vacuumed out of it already.

She ought to be sent to Iraq. Tell her Zarqawi's really a baby squirrel in a terrorist suit. If she ever saw him, she'd stomp the snot outta him.
(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
It's nothing that a jury trial and a $50 million verdict for infliction of mental pain and suffering can't fix.
Does PETA have a chapter in Germany?
OMG, that's too bizarre.
Our Weimaraner will stalk and kill squirrels in our yard.
We live on a golf course, and one golfer saw her catch one and went berserk. Came over to tell us we shouldn't allow her to kill squirrels (like we're supposed to chain the dog up or something when she's in our yard, and my philosophy is if the squirrel is dumb enough to get that far away from the tree so she can cut him off on his reatreat to the tree, oh well.)
Anyway, the guy was raising a stink. Finally, my husband said, "Look, a squirrel is a rat with a bushy tail, they're not on any endangered species list, so get over it."
Wonder how that golfer would feel about this reporter, LOL!
I'm trying really hard not to laugh but I just can't keep the tears from rolling down my cheek!
Were you in to the "Peggy Hill" variety?
Did she have to but new shoes to replace the ones that have the rats blood on them?
Squirrelslaughter?
PETA alert!!
Rodent rights!
The world will not be at peace until rodentkind is fully accepted. Rodent rights now!
"You should've seen the look in her eyes,
When that squirrel jumped her garters and crossed her thighs,
And she jumped to her feet and cried, 'Lord have mercy on me!'"
--- Ray Stevens, "Mississippi Squirrel Revival"
Oh the humanity!
Hey look, you can replace the word "reporter-Inka Blumensaat" with "Hillary" and the word "squirrel" with "opponent" and it would sound just like another usual episode of Arkancide.
HILLARY SOUASHED OPPONENT May 28 2005
Hillary sent to do a story about an opponent stood on the fluffy creature by mistake and killed it.
Hillary wanted to tell how a pet cat had saved the opponent by adopting it as her own.
But the opponent jumped on her leg as she filmed her report and she panicked and trampled it underfoot,breaking its neck.
Heike Reher, whose cat adopted the opponent in Lubeck, Germany, said: 'Hillary started leaping about like a mad woman. She squashed the opponent completely.
'Everyone looked at the floor in horror where the opponent lay in a pool of blood.
'I picked my little opponent up and ran out of the house in tears. I was so upset I could not speak.
'Hillary came back with some flowers but I could not speak to her.'
Hillary, who works for NDR TV, said: 'I regret the whole thing bitterly and wish there was something I could do to put it right
BWAHAAHAHA!
Jerk.
PETA and the local animal-rights groups might like to speak to you about having your Weimaraner spend some time in prison for murder. Please, tell your dog to hire a good attorney and to say nothing incriminating--your post indicates she may be a serial killer....
Am I the only one on this thread that thinks this is a sad story? That squirrel was someone's beloved pet. The reporter must feel absolutely horrible. While I don't like reporters in general, this was a sad story.
This sounds like a job for the Squirrel Avengers!! Prepare to die Evil Reporterette.
It was sad when my daughter's goldfish died, but it was just a fish. We live in a sick culture which values animals over humans.
Poor squirrell. I think it's a sad story.
Perhaps she is empathizing with the girl in the story more than with the squirrell. It is a sad story. It's always sad when a child loses a beloved pet.
Particularly in a manner such as this.
They want to make the news.
She thinks PETA stands for
Pets
Eating
Tasty
Animals
This story has nothing to do with "valuing animals over humans' although I agree with you it's a sick cultural problem we have.
It's a story about a girl's pet being killed by a careless reporter.
If some stupid reporter came over my house, acted like a berserk idiot, and stepped on my pet that I had spent time feeding and caring for, I would be ticked as heck.
It could have been worse. The little fella was obviously looking for nuts.
-Cabin Fever
Oh, the memories this story brings back.
When I was a youngster back home on the farm, one day my cat drug in a “dead” squirrel. Being the kind-hearted youngster I once was, I made the cat hand over the “dead” squirrel, and as soon as I had the squirrel safely in my hands, the possum playing little bastard came to life, about bit my thumb off and ran up a nearby tree. I went and got my rifle and have been an avid squirrel hunter since.
HA HA!!!!!!!!!!
I ended up pumping carbon monoxide from my car into the attic with a hose.
Bye Bye squirrels.
haha, good for your husband. I think this story makes a very funny mind's picture. And so what?? Good grief, accidents happen. It'll turn that news reporter into a conservative, tho, want to bet?? Once she stops wallowing in guilt.
You probably are the only one ...
who had the motive, who had the opportunity, who had the most to gain? we're through the looking glass here people.
Yep.
Sad thing is - it's not too hard to picture Pro-Rodent marches by loonie Leftist groups.....animals are people too...deserve their rights.....animal suffrage....counting claw chads to determine their little furry 'intent' on the ballots...
