Rogue squirrel terrorizes Vermont neighborhood
Read Time:38 Second
A rogue gray squirrel has been terrorizing a neighborhood in Vermont. One resident says he was shoveling snow when the squirrel jumped onto his back three separate times, scratching and clawing him before he finally managed to chase it away. At least two other people on the street have been attacked as well, reports the Bennington Banner.
One victim is being treated for exposure to rabies, although Vermont’s chief veterinarian says there’s never been a case of a squirrel passing rabies to a human. He says that it’s likely that the squirrel isn’t rabid, but may have been kept as a pet and lost its fear of humans. The squirrel might “go ballistic” when it meets people it doesn’t recognize, the vet tells the AP.

I love these quirky stories.
And I love quirky squirrels.
I once visited a halfway house in downtown Chicago, where the men in the courtyard were feeding squirrels by hand. It was like a bunch of ex-cons had been transported to a scene from Bambi.
Bad guys love animals too 🙂
