Russian squirrel pack 'kills dog'
Local people suggest hunger is driving squirrels to extremes
Squirrels have bitten to death a stray dog which was barking at them in a Russian park, local media report.
Passers-by were reportedly too late to stop the attack by the black squirrels in a village in the far east, which reportedly lasted about a minute.
They are said to have scampered off at the sight of humans, some carrying pieces of flesh.
A pine cone shortage may have led the squirrels to seek other food sources, although scientists are sceptical.
The attack was reported in parkland in the centre of Lazo, a village in the Maritime Territory, and was witnessed by three local people.
A "big" stray dog was nosing about the trees and barking at squirrels hiding in branches overhead when a number of them suddenly descended and attacked, reports say.
"They literally gutted the dog," local journalist Anastasia Trubitsina told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.
"When they saw the men, they scattered in different directions, taking pieces of their kill away with them."
Mikhail Tiyunov, a scientist in the region, said it was the first he had ever heard of such an attack.
While squirrels without sources of protein might attack birds' nests, he said, the idea of them chewing at a dog to death was "absurd".
"If it really happened, things must be pretty bad in our forests," he added.
Komosmolskaya Pravda notes that in a previous incident this autumn chipmunks terrorised cats in a part of the territory.
A Lazo man who called himself only Mikhalich said there had been "no pine cones at all" in the local forests this year.
"The little beasts are agitated because they have nothing to eat," he said. |

When the chipmunks get out of line, you have to nip it in the bud or all hell breaks loose. Thus the black squirrels. Don't trust a rodent, no matter how much education it has. |

| Perhaps a "War on Squirrel Terror" is needed, send in some of those crack Russian anti-terror squads that did so well in Beslan and Moscow, that would shut those little b*stards up real quick. |

Its a signthat abnormal weather has resulted in abnormalities in vegetation. No pine cones this winter.. did someone say global warming?
Abnormalities, unprecedented anomalies, freak occurences and strange behavior is everywhere in the natural world now: things are spinning out of balance. |

When you satirize yourself, you make it hard to make fun of you.
While you are thinking about that, consider this offer: I have a few acres at Nazca I'd like to sell. Frequent UFO sightings. And a tin foil hat factory is just down the road. |

When you know nothing, everything seems amusing.  |

Man, I got a pamphlet on that from some smiling old Korean ladies who knocked on my door just yesterday morning. "Awake!" it's called. The only English issue they had was from July and it's headlined "NATURAL DISASTERS: Are They Getting Worse?" |

It is not as bad as the English "killer bunny rabbit" scare of the 70's made known by the popular Monty Python skit in "The quest for the holy grail"
I agree, we must stop this madness before a crazy black squirrel drives a truck, laddened with explosives, into a building in our neighborhood.
I feel an all-out onslaught is need.
WHERE'S BUSH WHEN YOU NEED HIM???~!!!

"I almost soiled my armor I was so scared!"
"He's a killer!"
"E's just an 'armless little squirrel!"
"I tell you, he's got a mean streak a mile wide! Look at the bones!"
"What's 'e do, nibble me bum?"
Now we know.
