Subject: squirrels Date: Jan 06 2007 04:27:48 PM Author: Tammy I think its great when people help orphaned or injured squirrels. Its gives them a chance that they deserve. I am currently raising a little orphaned squirrel named Chance. He is the highlight of my day. I'll be releasing him in the spring with an outdoor home built by my carpenter hubby Kevin. We have a few squirrel houses on our property (3) and Chance will join them this Spring. I love squirrels and I enjoy bringing a bit of nature into our cement and concrete world.

Both were scared of each other. Unharmed I returned it to a pile of brush below a huge willow tree. While my friend and I were talking about what had just happened, here comes the squirel, across their backyard about sixty feet right to my legs, and looked up, the rest is history. It went to sleep while in my hand on the twenty mile ride home. A little warm milk and a small lined basket, it slept all night long. This morning, we went to my son's house and he couldn't beleive it. " Rocky " already lounges on my shoulders and even goes to sleep there. Not once has it tried to bite me. Several times it has tried to nurse behind my ear, neck, inside of my elbow. Sofar this is the only site that has common sense that I've found. I think the little guy thinks I'm it's mother. If any of you out there have any information raising a squirel, I have lots of questions. Hope to here from you all real soon. Subject: Baby squirrel Date: Apr 28 2005 07:26:56 AM Author: Susan Hi Susan, first thing to do is keep the baby warm, you never feed a cold squirrel, you must feed them Esbilac puppy formula..2 part formula one part warm water, and feed with a syringe, without the needle of course, you must feed slow...if the formula comes out of the nose, your going to fast and they could develope pnemonia..regular milk will cause diareha and dehydtation, if it does get diar. give half part unflavored pedialite and half water for about 24 hours, then back to the formula...I have to go to work now, but keep in touch and I will tell you more, I have 2 babies now that are orphans..good luck and let me know how you made out...Jonie Subject: baby Date: Apr 16 2005 07:41:27 PM Author: michelle sorry, my email is firegirl608@yahoo.ca.

The poor thing can't use it's hind legs. Does anyone have suggestions for helping it? Subject: Squirrels in Union Square Date: Jun 09 2004 05:12:35 PM Author: luciedove About three years ago, there were so many beautiful red squirrels around the Union Square area. Last year I did not see the red squirrels, but saw hundreds of brownish-grey squirrels. Today I see less than a dozen. What happened Bernie?

It's pretty d*rn encouraging to see that his days of "puttin' the lead" to the unholy miscreants of Gotham City's seedy underbelly are long long long gone... These days he's focusing his energy on taking in and caring for injured and orphaned NYC squirrels... I wouldn't doubt that his invitation to the Whitehouse is far off... Who says a man can't turn his life around???... One of the most inspirational pieces I've read on the web in a long time... Yes, Virginia, some stories DO have a happy ending...

They're a fucking ball of muscle, head to ass. It's no wonder they are so lightning fast. Bernie obviously isn't taking home healthy ones b/c there's no way he could ever catch one of the little fuckers. Subject: Squirrel buddies Date: Jan 27 2004 10:16:55 PM Author: Ed Wheee!!!

I've caught most of these animals atleast once, exept the skunk for obvious reasons. Out of all the creatures of the southern lands I have to say that when you corner a squirrel they growl and they sound very evil believe it or not. Its funny as shit, I suggest trying it.

They are pure evil. Subject: pennies from heaven Date: Jan 14 2004 01:40:38 PM Author: sonicproduct one day i was standing outside smokin a cigarette when out of this tree fell a nest of baby squirrels. they were little pink hairless aliens that looked like yams with rasins for eyes and they emitted a tear-eliciting whimper/scream that was alternately cute and disturbing. there were three of them and i figured if i touched one i would be pissing off ma nature, so i ran inside panicked and told my friends, but they wouldn't even come outside and look. after a half hour i check again and they had all disappeared. since they couldnt move, i had to assume that mommy squirrel had carried them to safety. those probably would have been the squirrels to grab tho, in terms of domestication. cuz every time i've captured a real squirrel, they bite the shit outta you. one of these days. Subject: Squirrels Date: Jan 13 2004 09:43:35 AM Author: James That is a good story man. I my self enjoyed shooting squirrels with a bb gun as a lad but now I know how good a pet they can make if you can pull it off. Let me commend you for doing so and I wish you luck in finding a new squirrel pet. Don't get carried away though. For the sake of the squirrel, please don't try to fuck it. Subject: Bernie Date: Jan 11 2004 09:10:15 PM Author: philo bedeau At least for a while, I'll bet Bernie made some of these swine think twice. Coddling people only encourages more crime - brutal behavior deserves swift and brutal retribution. Subject: the true nature of squirrels Date: Jan 10 2004 12:05:45 PM Author: Cookies Sqirrels are extremely racist. Have you ever seen a squirrel war. Usually its the blacks versus the grays. The battles go on for hours and in the end the greys lose their nests. One day I awoke to find something very special... A black and a gray were in love. Is this the beginning of something new? Regardless squirrel wars will continue and someones team will lose, but will it be colour defined?

Subject: nuts-4-life Date: Jan 06 2004 07:06:18 PM Author: dimebag Outside of the second floor window of the firehouse I work at is a tree with a squirrels nest. The squirrels show up every morning at shift change and wait by the window for bread and peanut butter. I realize that feeding them human food will probably cause them to die of a heart attack. In fact, I think were are feeding the third generation in about four years.But hell, who wouldn't want to die fat and happy? Subject: squirrels fucking Own. Date: Jan 05 2004 07:27:43 PM Author: thank god for trees i have squirrels living in my front yard. they are so god damned adorable and fuzzy and, well, smart. i totally want one, but yeah, they aren't exactly personable. and my cat would eat it. Subject: squirrels Date: Jan 05 2004 03:57:48 AM Author: Ben for viva: You say it was probably wrenching for the squirrels to part with you. Yeah, no shit. You might have bonded with them and messed up their relationships with other squirrels for life. When I was fostering a squirrel litter for the Toronto Wildlife Center, the instructions were: Do not look them in the eyes. Do not talk to them. Cover the cage so that they do not see humans. Why not apply to be a foster parent at your local wildlife center? You get training and support and you meet good people. They supply the milk and cage. And take the next orphaned squirrel you find in to them. He'll get checked out by a vet, and will eventually be released safely under controlled conditions. sincerely Ben Subject: LOOKOUT BERNIE! Date: Jan 04 2004 02:23:43 AM Author: SquirrelMaster 3000 HOLY SHIT BEHIND YOU BERNIE! THE BLACK SQUIRREL IS GOING TO KILL YOU! Subject: Bernie Goetz and His Squirels Date: Jan 02 2004 10:15:29 AM Author: Skyhawk Bernie Goetz is an American icon for the obvious reason. More than that he is an animal lover who just happened upon some sick squirels referred to him by employees of the New York Department of Parks. It all started when Parks personnel asked Bernie if he would care for an abandoned, very sick young squirel. Thus began a journey of being a Squirel Medic. He never takes healthy squirels out of their environment, as some in this chat room suggest. A question: what's the difference betwen having pet dogs, cats, fish, birds, snakes, tigers (in New York City), and those squirel-like ferrets and squirels? Subject: god-given right Date: Jan 01 2004 11:24:01 PM Author: viva For David: Bernie would absolutely never ever take a healthy squirrel from the wild, ur NYC parks. He only rescues doomed squirrels. Either they've lost their mother or are injured. He will take inordinate pains to return a squirrel to the park after nurturing it back to health for months. He even pays for veterinary care for some. Most baby squirrels die - its a fact of life in NYC. Only about one per litter will live, if that. If I were an orphaned or injured squirrel, I would be pretty happy to have Bernie take care of me. I understand where you're coming from, but you just don't have all the facts on this. I have had numerous successful releases of the orphans I've taken in . While they've been in my custody I have learned to cherish them. Putting them out where they belong is a wrenching experience because I become smitten. I have a hunch that separation is tough on the squirrels too. They are extraordinary creatures up close. Subject: Squirrels Date: Jan 01 2004 10:13:38 PM Author: David Squirrels belong with other squirrels, not in someones home away from their natural environment. Bernie has no right to remove them, actually kidnap them from a park where they are living with their family. This is inhumane, selfish on his part for his needs (not the squirrel's), nothing redeeming or admirable about this. I hope the proper legal steps will be taken to remove any future squirrels from his home. These creatures, like any other, have one God-given life and are entitled to live it out in the best manner possible, not in someone's house. What he is doing is unconscionable. Subject: plasma fusion squirrel nut brownie Date: Jan 01 2004 07:40:20 PM Author: viva I've have numerous squirrels as pets - all rescues. They are my favorite species, and I include humans with this statement, of course. As for Bernie, I hear he's going to build a plasma-fusion-powered table lamp to launch a new era in energy. He's a techie genius, you all should know. With the lamp, his infamy as the "subway gunman" will be thoroughly overshadowed. Plasma fusion is completely non-polluting. Subject: Yeah, Squirrels Fuckin' Rock! Date: Dec 30 2003 09:32:05 AM Author: PopCultureShocked but it didn't have a fire escape. So, we took Bruce to a conservation area just outside of town and released him into the wild. We were worried that he wouldn't be able to adapt to living in nature, but once he was loose the little prick didn't send so much as a postcard! Subject: Yeah, squirrels fuckin' rock! Date: Dec 30 2003 09:25:08 AM Author: PopCultureShocked (...cont'd from previous posting)So, we took it around the corner and coaxed it up a tree. It got as high as our second storey window and then it's tiny baby legs couldn't hold on any longer. It plummetted to the sidewalk in slo-mo where it proceeded to convulse for about thirty seconds. Then, while we looked on in horror, it bent backward so far that its head touched its ass just above the tail making it look like a furry little donut. Had our efforts to save the squirrel resulted in an even more grisly demise than the drowning the Loads would have attempted? Fortunately, no. Baby squirrels must be used to bouncing off of the pavement because a few seconds after performing the contortionist routine the little fucker got up and ran right over to us. After that, our friend brought us a nice big cage that had been used to house a stray baby racoon. We put the cage in a corner of the fire escape that was sheltered from wind and rain, furnished it with a nest and some jungle-gym equipment and moved our buck-toothed buddy right in. We cared for him as he grew into a healthy adult squirrel. His favourite game was jumping back and forth from human to human, and he would come when you called his name (which was Bruce). Eventually we moved to a less shitty apartmen Subject: Yeah, squirrels fuckin' rock! Date: Dec 30 2003 09:15:44 AM Author: PopCultureShocked I had a pet squirrel once. My girlfriend (now my wife) and I were living in this shitty apartment with an old iron fire escape that we used to hang out on like it was our balcony. There was this family of obese "disability cheque" collectors across the street whose surname was "Lloyd". But, we had dubbed them the "Loads" while we were on mushrooms and it kind of stuck. One day the youngest Load (the monstrous mass of freckled cellulite that was their red-headed teenaged daughter) came running out of their house swatting at something with a butterfly net. Though it was our policy to never interfere with the goings-on of the Load household, we had never seen any of them move so quickly and with such purpose. So, we made our way across the street to see what had mobilised the ever-sedentary. Apparently there was a baby-squirrel-sized entrance to their attic and the sound of the loveable little rodents cavorting about was too much for them to bear. While they stood over their captive prey discussing several unpleasant methods to euthanise it, we decided to spare them the trouble by adopting it as our pet. Our first instinct was to return the infant to its mother, or at least to its natural habitat. So,we took it around the corner an Subject: squirrels Date: Dec 29 2003 03:12:19 PM Author: D People refered to him as a hero because he defended himself rather than be a victim. If four teenagers cornered me I would I assume that I was going to die, and would defend myself with any means necessary. Bernie was smart enough to carry a side arm (legal or not) -- this was in the days when NYC was truly crazy, before Rudy sanitized the place. It wasn't a matter of white vs. black or whatever lies the media conjured up in order to get higher ratings. Subject: Creepy little nerd, isn't he? Date: Dec 29 2003 05:58:48 AM Author: kOn Wait a minute, did I read this right? Are the squirrels of NYC actually telling Bernie Goetz to "stop"? Wow. This strikes me as something to look into. I mean, why would anyone's pets feel that this is such an important word to learn? Especially when you think of how difficult it must have been for an animal of such minimal capacity to figure it out. A plea for mercy. Keen instincts tell the squirrel that this is the only thing in the world worth knowing. And I suspect that the squirrel CAN actually pronounce the "P". It's just that generally Bernie likes to shoot them in the face before they're done talking. Subject: Kicking ass Date: Dec 27 2003 08:59:26 PM Author: Goetz for president Goetz didn't care that they were black. All he knew is that he had someone determined to open his throat with a screwdriver and he also had a gun. It's all the liberals that kept screaming about race. His case was about self defense and not being a victim. And the squirrels thing proves it. He's not a pschopath. He's a good citizen with huge balls.

Fuzzy Nutz are the greatest Subject: squirrels Date: Dec 25 2003 02:35:47 AM Author: Ben I feel that way about raccons. I wish I could have a pet raccon. You can get orphaned squirrels from wildlife rescue places some places. We were a foster home for four of them last summer. You get to feed them dehydrated milk from a little syringe. Then when they are big enough they are reintroduced back into squirrel society. The problems are- they poo a lot and you have to clean it. - you can't bond with them or it messes with their rehabilitation. - they might have a parasite that your other pets catch. But they are really good. I liked weighing them every couple of days and seeing how many grams thay had gained. Happy Christmas |
