    Squirrels are not demosticated. A squirrel will fuck you up dude. Its idiotic thinking people should be able to just cop whatever animal they want off the streets.

      We had this discussion before, you hate animals with a passion and don’t understand basic logic.

      Squirrels are hemerophile as I already proved to you. They live near us and seek our help when necessary, they aren’t wild like a Bear, Tiger or something like that, they are “wild” like straycats or mice.

      And you also don’t know shit about rabies, they don’t just appear in a animal, they need to be infected themselves and they die in a few days to at max 2 weeks also it shows clear behavior when contagious.

      Get a life and stop trying to justify such actions.

        Yeah you’re just being reactionary and putting words in my mouth. People are stupid, they will damage the populations they can. Thats why you need a permit to own wild animals so every asshair with half a brain cell doesnt take a squirrel home from the park. But go off on how I love to eat puppies for breakfast and kittens for second breakfast. Thats just daft. You are taking this one example that was awful, and applying it to every chance encounter with a ten year old at the park going “mommy can we keep it!?” No, you can’t. Cause you can’t tell what happened to a wild squirrel. Once again, had this guy went and got a permit after he used and exploited Peanut for personal wealth our poor Peanut would still be alive. But he didn’t cause libertarianism or some stupid shit.

        It makes me sad you think a squirrel can’t seriously injure you, like there wasn’t any reason at all they are included on that permit list.

          Im way more scared of my neighbors dogs than i am of the park squirrels. By this logic any animals that can harm you (almost all of them) should require a permit.

            You should need one for nondomesticated animals. Go ahead though, go interact with wild animals. You’ll find out why this is the way it is pretty quick.

              I have. Ive interacted with birds, insects, wild cats including the occasional bobcat, wild rodents, including squirrels, mice, rats, racoons, possums, armadillos, etc. I am very active with my local wildlife. And where I live, without a doubt, the second most dangerous thing here is pet dogs, only beaten out by other people. The dogs are so disproportionally dangerous that the third most dangerous thing here is drug overdose. I dont think i have ever heard of the wildlife fucking anyone up here. But two weeks ago my neighbor two houses down had to go get stitches due to being bitten by one of the other neighbors dogs after it got out. The dog got put down. This is i think the third time this has happened on my block this year. Different houses, different dogs each time. Dogs are a fucking menace to my neighborhood.

                You’ve never heard of peop fucking with wild animals and finding out? Must be in the middle of a city if dogs are your worst animal fear. We get rattle snakes, scorpions, hawks, and coyotes out here. Ever fuck around with a coyote? Or a rattle snake? Think someone should be able to just grab one of them without a permit and home it?

                  Rattle enakes and coyotes are the only two of those i wouldnt be willing to handle wild. If you know what you are doing most animals make their body language pretty clear. And the vast majority of them want nothing to do with you unless they deem you as a non threat. As far as taking them home, i dont think you should take any animal home unless it clearly seems open to domestication. Ive handled scorpions locally that were super chill, i go out of my way to handle local jumping spiders if theyre willing to jump on me. Dogs are the only animal i see and my first instinct is fear and yet they dont require anything. I mean a lot of them are literally bred to kill shit, yet have less oversight than a squirrel.
