When Animals Attack

Beneath their warm and fuzzy appearance lies the heart of a killer.

Innocent 3-year-old Kevin Santiago was sitting on the swing in the playground when the crazed varmint launched itself at him in a fury.

Day care centre director Maritza Diaz recounted the horror: ‘The squirrel attacked him and didn’t want to get off of the child. We threw things at it to try to get it off, and nothing.’

The incident escalated even further when a trooper who was attending an accident that had occurred in the vicinity of the playground came to the rescue. Abandoning the boy, the demonic tornado of fur leapt at the trooper, who couldn’t get it off.

And just in case you think this was a one time affair look at this:

  • Squirrel goes postal
  • Squirrel conman in pipe scam
  • Squirrel attacks four-year-old
  • Squirrels attack veterans’ graves
  • Suicide squirrel starts 30-acre fire
  • Squirrel takes out opera singer
  • Suicide squirrels strike again
  • Squirrel News: Kamikaze squirrel
  • More rampaging squirrels: Lawsuit
  • Gangster squirrels strike again
  • Killer squirrel takes on the world
  • Killer squirrel threat grows

    Was the child being propery watched so he/she was not subjected to this intrusion?

    As someone who works with issues of children and appropriate adult superivision, I will look at it from the other point of view. Was the child being propery watched so he/she was not subjected to this intrusion? Attack is a hard word.

    By the way, are you going to the Jewish Book Festival tomorrow at the UJA? Stop by my blog and let me know. We will be there.
