When Squirrels Attack

A four-year-old boy was attacked by a squirrel last week in Cuesta Park in Mountain View, Calif. (Full story here.) According to the report, the boy is still getting rabies shots. Apparently, this kind of thing is becoming an increasing problem.

Far be it from me to find fault with our furry, feral friends from the forest, but something needs to be done. Am I suggesting that we grab our shotguns, run outside, and hunt them to extinction? Of course not. All I'm saying is that there's a slight possibility that I might be a little slow to react when I see one of those things dart out in front of my car.

Squirrels, I'd be extra-cautious out there if I were you. You know, just in case.
