Killing and decapitating voles, that is. Because there are so many voles right now they make an easy food source, I guess.

First the squirrels decapitated the voles, and I said nothing as I wasn't a vole.
That title gave me cancer.
But at least you still have your head.
Are you sure? They haven't posted since that post and they might be a vole.
God have mercy on everyone in SF
Edit a squirrel downvoted this
Not unless they make it across the Bay Bridge. By then it will already be too late for those of us in the East Bay.
Wow, thanks for sharing. I wonder if this will change the social dynamics of the squirrels (internecine warfare, pack hunting, etc.)
I, for one, welcome our new packs of squirrel carnivores.
Squirrels are opportunistic eaters. During the last US east coast 17-year Cicada brood, I saw them chowing down on them left and right.
And yes, I am aware of my username...not on purpose I swear.
Absolutely. Eventually your small dog will represent an opportunity.

Possible plot point to align with the impending zombie apocalypse?
That's crazy! I've never heard of carnivorous squirrels before
Sounds like my squirrel (and other small animal) serial killer dog might be getting some pushback if squirrels aren't putting up with any of those voles' bullshit any more.
