Emotional Support Squirrel

[SkyDog58]

There's a nice scene in "Winter's Bone":

The older sister brings home some squirrels so her family can eat. She cleans them and as she pulls out a handful of long, stringy guts, her little brother asks, "Do we eat those parts?" She says, "Not yet."

Great movie.

No squirrel thread is complete unless there is at least one flying squirrel....

Great movie.

heh. I found a video of that scene. The Google also came up with a PETA controversy about it, too:

"She's young and the plight of animals somehow hasn't yet touched her heart," PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement Tuesday.

I had to "like" that so I could "unlike" it!

I think it’s squirrel season in most States.

The squirrel was a plant - he says he's afraid to fly, but travels extensively anyway. I saw him on a flight to Philly, drinking Dewars.

Did he have an Emotional Support Human with him?

Has anybody ever taken a survey to find out what percentage of airline passengers are afraid of flying?

I'm afraid of flying with other airline passengers.

Just get all of your shots. You'll be fine.

I watched a squirrel get skinned when I was a kid. The neighbors would eat them.

Cook ‘em in a slow cooker with an undiluted can of condensed onion soup, then serve over rice. Delicious!

I want an emotional support bunny.

Playboy bunny.

Playboy bunny.

But wanting a Playboy Bunny shows that you are normal which means you don't really need one so you don't get one. Similar to the sanity issue in Catch 22. Sorry.

An attorney.

Frankly, I don’t care if you want to bring an emotional support anything onboard as long as it is in an appropriate carrier and stays there throughout the flight. Any animal outside a carrier and unrestrained is pretty much a no-go with me.

 

[Ravioli]

the carrier all the time part is fairly new, isn't it?

Around 15 years ago we would pay to have the dogs with us in the cabin and they could be on our laps EXCEPT during the meal service. Nowadays we get barked at (pun intended) if we take Autumn out of her carrier. But the "faux" service/sympathy dogs don't have to be crated.

Oh the humanity.

THIS is an emotional support amimal!
