Growing up in Appalachia The Bull developed a taste early on for squirrel meat. Still dearly love a big pot of squirrel and dumplings, (though no one can make dumplings like me dear ol’ Mom). The occassional squirrel brain and scrambled eggs were known to come across my Granny’s breakfast able, too. You see, back then Human Beings had no doubt that they were at the top of the food chain. We ate meat when we took the notion to do so, and without the first moment of guilt or concern. We were quite willing, even happy, to shoot our dinner out of a tree, skin it, gut it, boil (or fry) it up, and then chow down. We were leaner, happier, and generally healthier in every way.
Then came decades of America getting more and more wrapped up in the musings of a bunch of fruitcakes out on the Left Coast. Hunting, eating meat, guns, wearing leather, self protection, and finally, Self Respect, were all set aside so We as a Nation could be more like the “visionaries” out in Hollywierd.
Now, perhaps, begins the Reckoning…
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Mountain View Community Services Director David Muela said that as many as six people have been bitten or scratched by squirrels since May, and that the attacks have become more ferocious in the last month.

It appears that the Granola State, that Land full of Fruit, Flakes, and Nuts, has begun to reap what they have sown. For decades now the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia has embraced every Left-Wing Nut Job to come down the pike, keeping the Squirrels on a very fatty diet. Now, as the States Townships attempt to get a handle on the garbage that collects there the tree rats have little left to eat – save for all of the nuts walking about on two legs!
Poetic Justice.
In response to attacks, the city of Mountain View has announced it plans to start trapping and killing the aggressive tree squirrels.
JOY! I can’t wait to see the show that the idiot PETA folks are going to put on over this action! In The Bull’s not-so-humble opinion, the City has the duty to protect its citizens from wild, possible rabid, animal attacks. Even those brought on by decades of inviting every nutter on the planet to live there. Let’s see who gives in: PETA, or the City of Mountain View.
Should be another funny show from one of our Silly States!

I think I’ll go check the sights on my old squirrel rifle. Perhaps it is time to introduce a new generation to the joys of Hunting and Squirrel Dumplings.
Bull, out!
Ha. Manic squirrels maybe a side effect hehehehehe.
And, Dear Cracker, I also live in Mountain View CA and I’m involved in the squirrel problem. So guess what? I know a heck of a lot more about this than you and your redneck coal miner buddies. Come back and talk to me when you have a Ph.D. in physics and in English literature. Deserved abuse aside, my oh so valuable opinion is simple. Let the squirrels live and feed the Mountain View yuppie babies to them in the park. We’ve too many people here already, and all of these parents and their illegal nannies, who stupidly drag baby food intto the park’s playground, just are encouraging the little gray buggers to attack their children. Come to think of it, feed the stupid parents and their illegals to our gray buddies too. We could even use them as Red State care packages — frozen fatty meat. You’d love it as barbecue. Long pork.
Cheers. Watch out how you handle that rifle when you get to a fence, particularly when you have consumed a case of beer.
I don’t cross fences carrying guns, never have liked barbecue, don’t drink at all, and there isn’t a coal mine within 300 miles of my particular end of Appalachia and I’ve never seen the inside of one.
To be so “Enlightened” you sure do make a hell of a lot of assumtions. I particularly find that “Cracker” comment to be rather telling. Exactly what we’ve come to expect from Left-wing Liberal Loonies like you.
Anyway, it wasn’t the squirrels’ fault — it was the stupid breeder moms and illegal alien nannies who fed the squirrels at the kids’ playground. Duh! Feed beggars and they get aggressive. The same is true for squirrels, who may be smarter than most beggars because they are clean and sober. Kids make their parents stupid, particularly women, who have this hormone thing.
Mountain View has forbidden feeding squirrels and the problem has gone away.
For the record, I am a strong believer in subsistence hunting and an equally strong opponent of sport hunting, unless it is to control animal populations. Rednecks shouldn’t be allowed to get sexual pleasure from killing innocent animals. There are a lot of people who deserve it far more, like our Dear Uncle Dubya and his Gang of Thugs.
Oh! It wouldn’t have mattered much if it had been a 12 ga. rather than the 28 as the loads are of the same relative ’strength’, there is just more pellets in a 12. A common misconception.
