Squirrels Go On Attack At South Bay Park
September 30, 2006
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- An aggressive squirrel pounced on a 4-year-old boy in an attack last week in Cuesta Park in Mountain View, Calif. The attack happened as the boy's mother unwrapped a muffin during a picnic.
The boy had to get rabies shot after the attack. He is still getting the shots.
The attack is not the first one reported at the park. Mountain View Community Services Director David Muela said that as many as six people have been bitten or scratched by squirrels since May, and that the attacks have become more ferocious in the last month.
Park Rangers spent Saturday patrolling the park. The city is trying to make sure people don't bring food into the children's play area at the park. "I think it's our fault, because we made them aggressive," Carmen Perez of Palo Alto said. "Now it's dangerous and we have to do something."
Typical Bay Area Liberal attitude, too. "It's our fault. We caused them to behave this way toward us. We've lost the respect of the squirrel community." Now where have I heard that before?
"I think it's our fault, because we made them aggressive," Carmen Perez of Palo Alto said. "Now it's dangerous and we have to do something."
This parallel being drawn by Miz Perez does seem to follow the same line of thinking as the terrorist appeasers.
Unwrap muffin = Squirrel attack
Be a successful western country = terrorist attack
By the way, Cuesta Park is a nice park in Mtn. View. I used to have a lot of fun there when I was younger and lived in the area.
On the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Campus squirrels will walk right up to you with no fear. It must be a great life for a squirrel, having 25,000 people dropping food everywhere with no risk of being eaten.
