"Squirrels have bitten to death a stray dog which was barking at them in a Russian park, local media report."

Thought this was going to be the first 2007 squirrel/NUKE from orbit thread.

i always knew squirrels would be the perfect killing machine.

Thought I recognised the headline - it is from 1 Dec 2005 - so what on earth were you searching for to find that !?

Lets just hope they're not going to displace the grey squirrels like they displaced the reds.

We have black Squirrels over here too - www.forestresearch.gov.uk/website/forestresearch.nsf/ByUnique/INFD-6HTK9B

Mates house backs onto some woods that are infested with tree rats. He has six cats - but the vermin still rampage through the kitchen and have engaged in combat with one of the cats.

I was telling some colleagues about the black squirrels last year and they were convinced I was making it up.

Not so - they are well 'ard and they are here already.

Killing a dog seems a bit far fetched? If the dog had died of starvation and they then started eating the body, that I could almost believe.

Must be something in the air.

We nearly got stabbed by a rabbit whilst enjoying a quiet pint last night...

Where is Tallbloke?

Is he still about? He was a good contributor.

Pathetic.
It was probably kind of babychild-dog wearing a pricess outfit like Parisite Hilton carries around.

The squirrels were simply ashamed.

Anyway, my cat Boris has captured and killed two squirrels so whatever it was should be ashamed of itself. Or dead.

Article said it was a large dog, didn't say what colour it was. I fear it was probably a racially motivated attack.

Ona more serious note, squirrels are double hard bds. I'm sure I remember reading an article in the Daily Wail a couple of years ago about a Labrador having to have major facial surgery after being attacked by a lone squirrel which ripped its face to bits. I'm always a bit wary of them now to be honest.

They must be double hard bastids in Lazo funny news many moons ago

[Jasandjules]

I went to view a house where the resident cat was clearly a double hard b***rd. There were two dead squirrels in the garden and the cat was busy stalking another up the tree.
