Killer Squirrels

Russian squirrel pack 'kills dog'

Local people suggest hunger is driving squirrels to extremes
Squirrels have bitten to death a stray dog which was barking at them in a Russian park, local media report.
Passers-by were reportedly too late to stop the attack by the black squirrels in a village in the far east, which reportedly lasted about a minute.

They are said to have scampered off at the sight of humans, some carrying pieces of flesh.

A pine cone shortage may have led the squirrels to seek other food sources, although scientists are sceptical.

The attack was reported in parkland in the centre of Lazo, a village in the Maritime Territory, and was witnessed by three local people.

A "big" stray dog was nosing about the trees and barking at squirrels hiding in branches overhead when a number of them suddenly descended and attacked, reports say.

"They literally gutted the dog," local journalist Anastasia Trubitsina told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.

"When they saw the men, they scattered in different directions, taking pieces of their kill away with them."

Mikhail Tiyunov, a scientist in the region, said it was the first he had ever heard of such an attack.

While squirrels without sources of protein might attack birds' nests, he said, the idea of them chewing at a dog to death was "absurd".

"If it really happened, things must be pretty bad in our forests," he added.

Komosmolskaya Pravda notes that in a previous incident this autumn chipmunks terrorised cats in a part of the territory.

A Lazo man who called himself only Mikhalich said there had been "no pine cones at all" in the local forests this year.

"The little beasts are agitated because they have nothing to eat," he said.

It must be the Russians! My Russia friend got attacked by a black squirrel and it tore a chunk out of his hand.

HA! I knew it! Every chance I got, I warned you all about the squirrels. They have hacksaws I tell you! They are cannibleistic as well, giving them hightened intelegence. They are the dealiest creatures on the planet. Look at what they did to that poor dog! You all thought I was crazy, and now look. It's the start of a squirrel revolution I tells ya! WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE! *laughs madly and jumps out a window. Seconds later a bone crunching thud can be heard*

Seriously though, the poor dog...

So, Russia's biological weapons program got the best of them, eh? I pray that Canada's never gets out of hand. The last thing we need is a bunch of killer beavers runnng amok.

A month ago there was a raccoon the size of a bear cub that tried to get in my house. He really wanted in and even my cat hissing and swatting it didn't scar the thing away.

I swear tho...that was the biggest raccoon I'd ever seen!! He kept on scratching at the back door trying to get in!

Could it be that you were fighting a masked cow?

Well my cat at first was just staring at the raccoon wondering why there was a creature bigger than her that had similar markings as her (she's a blue tabby).

What would a cow be doing in a city???

Fledermaus · 12-09-2005, 08:05 PM

Screw animal rights. They oughtta have a squirrel hunting spree.

That's not a squirrel. That's a demon with its wings clipped. Probably descended from Rasputin's evil pets we never hear about... *dons aluminum foil hat and clutches flamethrower*

Well, cows are known to diguise themselves as something like a friggin' big raccoon and then go and fight cats. It's also called "herding", you know.

I hated squirrels ever since a few summers ago. We used to have a wooden bread box on my kitchen counter, and in my kitchen there are two fairly big windows that we keep open during the summer. 3 times that year, we had a squirrel chew through the screen on the window, get into the house, open the bread box, open the bag of bread and then proceed to eat it. 3 times! The whole time my dog was just sitting there chilling. They weren't even afraid of her.

WTF?! That's a squirrel?! Looks more like a wingless bat with a fluffy tail!

That thing looks evil!

Ra · 12-13-2005, 06:27 AM

No. That's just a squirrel in it's natural form

Blondus · 12-14-2005, 03:00 AM

When squirrels are driven to the point when they kill and eat dogs, the attention shouldn't be directed to what the squirrel's done wrong. Squirrels arent carnivores naturally. They eat nuts, seeds and achorns. Them eating meat is a result of a drastic change in their habitat. Hate those who changed it, not the squirrels.

Fledermaus · 12-14-2005, 10:32 PM

Damn straight, blondie. Them Russians and their acts of sabotage on proper pine tree germination...

No good, damn, dirty Russians...

Blondus · 12-15-2005, 03:17 AM

There is no secret that russia has been trying for years to break down their own infrastructure(so that they can stage an official collapse, just to be able to move in complete secrecy their reign of terror to their new project, the Death Star), but to use the poor squirrels... Thats just damn cruel.
