I blogged recently about rats that have appeared in toilets in the UK. As if that wasn’t bad enough, there is this video of a squirrel that launched what looked like an entirely unprovoked attack on a man who was working in his garage. (Warning: When attacked, the man utters a homophobic slur.)
Are we witnessing the beginning of some kind of concerted effort by the rodent population to terrorize humans?
It’s not just rodents.
Shakira says she was attacked by purse-snatching boars

No. This has gone on for years -- just ask Iris.
Why was the bloke filming himself in his garage? Piscine odour.
Maybe it’s a ring doorbell camera, or other such security device to monitor his garage? The squirrel leaping at his head and the bleeding looked pretty real.
I was thinking he’s got a hell of a big garage and an lot of expensive toys in there. Two riding lawn mowers, an ATV, and a small tractor?
I bet he walked in on the squirrel gang getting ready to steal his stuff and go joy riding.
More likely he doesn’t go down there all that often and invaded the squirrel’s living space. Since it came from under the white pickup, he’s probably lucky he didn’t get into it and get attacked while he was driving.
It’s payback for all the times we made them push the lever to get the pellet.
I knew they’d be a day of reckoning.
Of course, it could be that’s actually a super-villain’s lair, and this is the work of Marvel’s Squirrel Girl.
Reginald Selkirk @1 It could be that the boars just read the Pandora Papers and saw that she’s one of the people named.

Iris has been warning the world about squirrels. I’m pretty her she’d watch this video and say, “Yup. As expected.”
