We're more likely to see this scenario played out with dead rats here in Charm City.

I can't believe the animal rights activists are pissed about Foie Gras, but they let this tragedy go? Seriously, why isn't anyone dumping blood on the crow?

Animal Right activists, SWARM! SWARM!

There was a nice picture on this theme that was circulating around grad school (U Mich in Ann Arbor - so many squirrels they even have an official club) of a hawk eating a ceased squirrel on the side of the street.

It was the hawk that made the picture noteworthy.

All the squirrels around here are smarter than that. Seriously, they stop at the curb and look both ways before running across the road. It's hilarious to watch.

The living is fine for ravens. Some baby chick eats well tonight!

It's okay. My friends and I saw two squirrels getting it on in a tree the other day. Then some asshole crow flew right into them. I'm thinking it was two dude squirrels and the crow was homophobic. Well, I guess if they were two dudes, then life would not prevail. Unless male squirrels can produce baby squirrels themselves. Hmm. I need to get to a science lab or something, post haste.

Squirrels are just retarded rats with bad hairdos. I can actually respect rats for their cleverness and ability to learn. Squirrels are just too stupid to be anything but destructive.

I got to watch a peregrine falcon tear a pigeon apart on a nearby rooftop the other day. Meanwhile, a crow had left a cookie on the deck railing. I ignored the cookie, thinking some bird would come eat it, and the next morning I get up to find the pigeon's gory, bleeding leg where the cookie had been.

It's like the falcon's thought process was: "cookie...leg...cookie...leg... ... cookie!"

There's a billion more where he came from.

Why do possums have a pouch? So they have someplace to carry their highway safety flares!
