This thread vs "hey guys, I found this baby squirrel and I wasn't sure what to do, so I took it to the vet and they advised me on how to take care of it until we can set it free"
Out of the gate with "omgz, look! A new pet! Cage, water bottle, squeeee!!!!!" is not cool.
Because she had no intentions of ever releasing it. Come in for check-ups every once in a while? Nails being trimmed? "Can squirrels even be domesticated?"
OH for FFS sake, my neighbor brought the bread over thinking if the mom was in the area, that would draw her out. I am going to back out b/c I am so totally pissed off, I know I did a good thing, we saved a squirrel from either starving or getting hit by a car. My parents have taught us the love one should always have for animals and how it is our responsibility to look after them b/c not everyone is nice to them and we have to protect them. I have been working at shelters and rescues since I was 16 and my children who are not old enough to work with the animals but they go to pick up the shit b/c I am teaching them about the love and I get accused of stupid shit. Fuck that. MP, I have always respected the shit out of your rescue work, you know I am not dumb about rescues, I don't appreciate you thinking I am some dumb shit who is stupid. I am taking this shit too seriously so I am going to bow out of this one. Have fun. Obviously I am mad at something.

Yeah, you're a lying liar that lies.
Yup. She was never going to let that poor thing go.
You know what, I do animal rescue, my children are involved in animal rescue, don't you dare accuse me of doing something like that for funsies. The vet was a vet I know through a wildlife program thank you. I have never, will never, mistreat or abuse an animal. I foster animals, I volunteer at shelters, I love animals and most times more than humans so don't go there with me. You don't know me, I don't know you, I don't take things like that lightly. Don't go there with me on that on. Don't. The VET told us the squirrel was too young and to nourish it and take care of it until it is ready to be released. I am done. This is beyond pissing me off, that baby needed help and I am sure our Vet would have told us to let it go if it didn't need it. He trusts my judgment and I trust his.
dude. have a snickers.
You know what, I needed that. No snark, that was funny.
Would no one else have freaked the fuck out if a squirrel just crawled up your leg to your neck?
I'd have probably screamed "OMG RABIES" and done a frantic flailing dance because nature was touching me
I walk through the park every Tuesday to get to and from the chiropractor (flameful?) and you bet your ass I dodge squirrels like I'm in the dodging Olympics.
