Squirrel!

[Steely Tom]

Be ironic if some NYC-based environmental organization discovered that the human-flesh-craving squirrels were some obscure, never-before-discovered species of rare squirrel that had a unique genome and must therefore fall under the protection of the Endangered Species Act.

HEY! why can’t we raise a million squirrel flesh eating army and ship them off to Iran?

Earlier this month, a squirrel in the Bronx bit an MTA worker's finger, sending her to the hospital. Now, it appears squirrels have developed a taste for salty, delectable people flesh—a second MTA worker has been attacked by a squirrel, this time in the train car of a Coney Island-bound Q train. It's unclear whether the same squirrel was coming back for seconds, or if the city's squirrel population has teamed up with the coyotes to rid the city of all non-littering humans.

Sounds like our kind of thread!

[Chode]

and what was she doing with her finger that close to the squirrel's mouth to begin with???

[tbw2]

All I could think was, we’re four months to early for Halloween pranks.

It is more likely rabid than going carnivorous.

[Smokin' Joe]

Rabies, anyone? When normally docile or timid warm blooded wild animals attack humans or start acting weird, that’s the first thing I’d suspect. Either that or someone had the critter cornered and was messing with it.

Squirrels eating NYCers ping.

Oh. I see. All rodents look alike, eh? Sounds like rodential profiling to me.

Just kidding! Some of my best friends are squirrels. I have a sister who's married to a squirrel. We treat him like he's one of us. We judge him by the content of his character not the bushiness of his tail.

This would make a better movie than most remakes they are doing now.

Zombie Vampire Squirrels of the New York Under Ground.

So long as they don’t accuse the squirrel of being a right-wing tea partier that hates big government as represented by the MTA.

[Patriot Babe]

” city’s squirrel population has teamed up with the coyotes to rid the city of all non-littering humans.”

What the heck are they doing? Starting a gang?

I think there is a movie call “Day of the Animals (1977)”. The animals attack everyone taking revenge.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Publicity stunt for that stupid Patterson book, “Zoo”. Now to be a TV mini series.

"Did I hear a 'go' signal?"

Conceal and carry peanuts at all times.

I thought Comrade De Blasio outlawed salt in New York.

[Texas Eagle]

Maybe the squirrels are fighting back on the behalf of their gerbil cousins who’ve been forced into the sex slave market in certain parts of New York.
