Just Jack Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Strongsville Police Blotter ANIMAL COMPLAINT, DRAKE ROAD: Residents called police because they were trapped in their home by a temperamental squirrel. The squirrel was desperate to get in the house, according to the residents. The squirrel kept jumping at the garage door and would run at the residents any time they opened a door.
UConn James Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 We had a pair of robins that were pretty much trying to do the same in many glass surfaces (car and garage windows, our door, cold frame in the garden). Very determined, and it was crashing/fluttering at our door every couple of minutes for a while. It was a little aggravating and there's a few scratches, etc. Didn't call the police or animal control, tho... and in a couple of days, they moved on. But there comes a point at which a nuisance animal needs to be dealt with. Animal behavior can get pretty odd, and you have to be careful wrt rabies, etc. Now, I'd just plink it with a BB gun, but then again, that can get you cuffed and stuffed these days. State agencies and PETA would rather that $18/hr be spent on sh-- like this rather than a homeowner doing a 1-cent solution.
