Poppy the mosaic squibbit
Last night my daughter went into the laundry room of her apartment building to throw a load of laundry in. There was a kid who doesn't live there in the laundry room, sitting on the floor. The kid (who's about 12 years old) says to my daughter "There's a squirrel in the sink." My daughter looks in the sink and there is a soaking wet squirrel in the sink. My daughter asks what the heck is going on. The kid (BRAT) says he found the squirrel in the road on his way over to hang with some other brats from the apartment complex. Apparently the squirrel got hit by a car and had a broken leg but was still alive. The group of kids claimed this brat was hitting it with a stick then threw it at one of the girls. The girl got bit by the squirrel. Then the brat brought it into the building and got it soaking wet in the sink. My daughter was Pi$$ed! She got both Moms of the other kids involved who did live in the building and called the police. Unfortunately nothing really came of it. Both parents were quite angry with their children for hurting the squirrel and the kid who doesn't live there was told by the police to not ever come into the apartment complex again or he will be 'arrested'. My daughter and both Moms said they would call the police if that brat ever showed up there again. Well, in regards to the squirrel, my daughter said they just let it loose in a woody area adjacent to the apartment complex. I asked my daughter why she didn't call me so I could get the squirrel and bring it to the county rehabber today. She said she thought the police would call animal control but they didn't. As for the kid who got bit, she was not brought to the Emergency Room because the police called the ER and squirrels are not carrier of rabies. http://rabies.emedtv.com/rabies/rabies-and-squirrels.html I feel so bad for this squirrel. Not to be cruel, but I don't think this squirrel will survive and I hope an owl got it in the night and it is now out of it's misery. I am so upset over this incident. :cry4:
