When Animals Attack in Vermont

I just saw a report that caught my interest to read and with a caption like "Squirrel attacking residents of VT. neighborhood" who could pass this up.

It's reported by the Bennington Banner:

"Bennington, Vt. - A Vermont neighborhood is being stalked by a renegade gray squirrel.

Several people in Bennington say they've been attacked by a squirrel over the last few weeks.

Kevin McDonald tells the Bennington Banner he was shoveling snow when the squirrel jumped onto him. He says he threw the animal off, but it twice jumped back onto him. A game warden says there have been other reports, too.

One woman is being treated for exposure to rabies, but Vermont Public Health Veterinarian Robert Johnson says there's never been a case of a squirrel passing rabies to a human.

Johnson says it's possible the squirrel was raised as a pet and lost its fear of humans. He says the squirrel might go ballistic when it encounters people it doesn't recognize."



You know it's bad when the squirrels are attacking people!!!!!!!!!!
