While eating lunch in by the fountain in front of the library today, I was harassed repeatedly by a squirrel. I didn't mind at first except that the friggin' thing was frighteningly persistent. Someone had obviously fed it from a brown paper Crustano's bag before, and the rodent repeatedly jumped up right next to me, garnering some unwanted attention my way.
"Aww, look, a squirrel!" a girl crooned.
This made it very uncomfortable for me to try to feign kicks and to aim swears at the furry little thing, but I did it. Dirty looks ensued.
I love squirrels and fuzzy little animals. I hate rabies shots. I haven't had any shots, but I will do anything in my power not to be several thousand dollars in the hole just because I thought OHMYGOODNESS FLUFFY ANIMAL WON'T BITE.
I have a responsibility to protect the squirrels, too! Squirrels are wild animals. Wild animals that don't run at the sight of humans become dependent on them or overly trusting and susceptible to attack.
