Topic: Animals vs. Humans
The Heart of Darko's Animals vs. Humans series continues today as a report has surfaced from California which tells of violent squirrel attacks on people in the past months. These unprovoked acts of violence have risen to a fever pitch in Mountain View, Cali., where a small boy was acosted by a furry rodent last week, bringing the total of attacks to a "fingers and toes" counting method. And with the recent loss of animal expert Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin at the hands of a sting ray assassin, the world is now looking for a new hero to rise up and quell this rapidly growing series of violence against humans.
Now, the city's Department of Fishing and Wildlife department has announced a counterstrike on the violent beasts, saying that they will begin trapping and destroying the rogue squirrels. However, many wildlife scholars in the area are not so sure that this will work.
"The squirrels will be back," South Bay wildlife rehabilitator Norma Campbell said. "For every one you take out, two more will come in. It could be a never-ending project that isn't going to accomplish anything."
Strong, strange words, from undoubtedly a very odd woman.
