Crazy squirrel attacks residents of Vermont

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

This city needs a hero. Is there not a 12 year old boy in the shire armed with a bb gun? One or two virtually silent shots later..... problem solved. Before the PETA folks attack, I like fuzzy li'l critters as much as the next person, but I draw the line when the animals repeatedly attack humans. That suggests rabies or some weird mental defect. Either way, the squirrel needs to be put down before he infects someone or attacks a little kid and causes some real damage. The squirrel population will not suddenly become endangered because of the loss of a rogue. If he's attacking humans, he's likely attacking other animals as well, so killing him is doing a favor to the rest of the furrys out there.

Rabies or some weird mental problem that likes to attack people????????? Sounds like a liberal squirrel.

Larry, It's in Vermont! The second largest Liberal cesspool in the country, second only to California. Of course it's a Liberal Squirrel. 95% Liberal squirrels here.

Unfortunately, a BB gun is not nearly powerful enough to kill (or even injure) those tough tree rats. you really need a proper pellet air gun. RWS, Beeman make fine hunting air rifles, ideally with at least 20 Lbs-ft muzzle energy.

A BB gun will not take out a squirl. They are very tough and strong. But a 22 would do fine. If the neighbors wouldn't complain I'd just shoot it and be done. I suggest that the people carry a tennis racket. Light, fast and strong. I think we have a new sport. Squirlmitten.

He needs to be caught alive so that he can be watched for rabies. Or at the very least killed in a human way that preserves the head so that it can be sent off for rabies testing. A kid with a BB gun my ruin that chance. But I do agree the squirrel does need to be put down one way or another. Before someone, most likely a child, is seriously injured. For example a bite or a scratch on an eye could blind someone.
