Saving a Squirrel by Eating One

NYT -

On of today¹s most popular emailed stories on the NYT website was this one,

which I won¹t even bother to post as text as it¹s too ridiculous to

replicate. Go to the link listed above to see what one of the leading media

houses in the world consider to be animal news...the culling of gray

squirrel by eating to save the red squirrel. (While you are there, why not

post ur comments too). The article mentions that brits are eating furry rats

to SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT! Wow, what a great idea, now that eating beef to

save the ozone layer is no longer en vogue. And apparently it¹s more like a

UN peace-keeping move then anything else, as the brits have decided to stop

the war between grays and reds, since grays are quoted to ³invade reds¹

habitat, eat voraciously and harbor a virus named squirrel parapox (harmless

to humans) that does not harm grays but can devastate reds.² The harmless

to humans part caught my attention...isn¹t that what they used to say about

eating beef?

The insanity of this new culinary practice and reporting thereof is only

eclipsed by this website: The Bushy-Tailed Rat

PROSTITUTION AND GROUP SEX in the squirrel community as well as PROOF THAT

SQUIRRELS ARE DANGEROUS as documented in an FBI report.

How is this Asia-related u may ask...well recent rumours from the Baglung

Times in Nepal describe Asian Red-cheeked Squirrels being imported from

India by momo shop owners on the border. There, there is no talk of saving

the environment or helping cull an invading species to save another. Folks

there are just hungry, plain and simple. It seems as the world dives into a

depression, even handsome rodents will not be spared by our hunger for

flesh.
