Fall is harvest season, and October is the harvest month in the northern hemisphere. It's the time for harvest festivals, county fairs, Halloween, and that last plunge in the ol' swimmin' hole before winter sets in.
Well, Patriots, what was once a carefree time of year has been co-opted into a season of skwerlien debauchery. For, as many of you know, the second week in October was declared National Squirrel Awareness week in 2000 (England proceeded the States with its own National Red Squirrel Week in 1998).
We're not quite sure who to blame for this commemoration. Also note that the starting date varies from year-to-year, place-to-place. For example, there's seems to be disagreement as to when the second week in October starts. Some say it begins on the Sunday after the first full week. Others begin festivities on the first Sunday of the month (unless the first Sunday is the first day of the month...). It's confusing, but the week's timing and who's responsible for it isn't as important as what to do about it.
Sure, we could intiate a campaign to do away with this national embarrassment. Or, perhaps we should promote Skwerl Awareness Week as a time to drive the bushytails back into their forest hovels where they can gambol around with all their skwerlvert eco-terrorist friends. Then we could release an army of famished wolves into the forest and... well, you can see where we're going with this...
Patriots, send us your thoughts regarding National Squirrel Awareness Week. We'll publish your comments during Squirrel Awareness Week. And yes, you skwerlhuggers can submit your opinions, too.

WHAT WILL YOU DO DURING SQUIRREL AWARENESS WEEK?
OUR READERS COMMENT (2006)
Hope that Mountain View stops the proposed crush trap squirrel killing at Cuesta Park....I've contacted hundreds of people, PETA, HSUS, IDA, etc., and the protest is really taking off. I hope all this works!
I will give a squirrel a nut!
build a better whackin' stick.
take my .22 and just start blastin
I have a squirrel at my bird feeder and was looking for info about them. I had no ideal that they were so hated and feard. I will be taking cover during squirrel week form gun fire as I live close to Falls City OR and every red neck in a 100 mile radious lives there. I hope they are all stoned and forget about squirrel week.
We will bait the woodland, set our traps and lay in wait, guns in hand. Then we will rotisserie the tree rats over hot coals and enjoy with many a beer.
I will catch the squirrels and wait until awareness week is over.. then have me some SKWERL STEW!
i will trap and shoot them with my airsoft with my friend
Make the squirrels stop talking to me!!! They're trying to get me to rob Wal*Mart!...Wal*Mart has low prices. They have Vault 6 packs for 98cents. Bet you didn't know that! STOP SQUIRRELS! I WILL NOT TAKE OVER WAL*MART! NO STOP TALKING TO ME!
I will leave nuts in my computers cd drive to appease the little gods who make it run so squirrly.
three words: feed the squirrels!!!!!!!!!!
i will do everthing in my right to help squirrels!!!!!!!
RUN CUZ SQUIRRELS ARE THE GOTDAMN DEVIL DAMNIT!!!!!!!
Bin Laden is a SKWERL lover.
My name be Ninja, and I am gonna beat them fools off my air conditioner, yo!
i will make my friends worship skwerls
Testing my sharpshooting skills
I will feed them their last meal. I just paid over $500 to the Ford dealer to repair the damage to my car caused by these worthless creatures. They ate through the fuel line and almost caused a fire. They also snacked on numerous vacuum lines. The mechanic said he's seen it many times before. He said I'm lucky, some poor sould lost his entire vehicle when it caught on fire and almost lost his house as well! Squirrels beware, I've got you in my cross-hairs.
I'm gonna stab a sqirrel in the eyes with pencils!
I will go out and hug all of the squirrels I can find.
Last year while I was in my deer stand one of the little red ones (the worst kind) was jumping around in the trees near the one I was in. This went on for a while so pretty soon I stopped paying attention to it. The next thing I know the little red devil is poised directly above my head envisioning my orange clad cranium as a giant colorful nut. I waived my hands at it and made a little noise and the thing just barked at me. Finally I pointed my ultra mag at the red devil to divert any delusions of orange grandeur. After that it got the idea and ran to a different tree. That was the day I almost lost my head to a red squirrel. In retaliation I will ethnic cleanse my hunting woods of the red devils before each and every hunting season from now on. Happy squirrel week.
proteck the squirrel habitat and do not cut trees
CHAINSAW! PROTECT THE SQUIRRELS! SKWERLS!SKWERLS!SKWERLS!SKWERLS!SKWERLS! SKWERLS! SKWERLS!SKWERLS!SKWERLS!
SKWERLS!SKWERLS!SKWERLS!SKWERLS!SKWERLS!
i will stash some more nuts in the trees
I WILL BUY A Squirrel! They make cracker Jack pets!
i'm going to pet one on it's head.
feed Skippy
i will not litter and do anything to hurt the squirrels
I will Eat the raw flesh of squirrels whose necks i break with my hands. DOwn with the squirrel
The problem with squirrels is that they have a serious lead deficiency. I'll spend the week administering 40gr. doses of lead intra-cranially to the evil little peanut eaters. That will improve my mood and their attitude. dragon
Eat mcdonalds
Skwerls are needed for exercise. They keep my 80 pound dog running and healthy.
I am going to skwerl myself all day long.
so you do not like the squirrels? well I say leave um alone, let them survive. Matter a fact the only reason I found this site was I was looking for what they eat, because my dog just wounded one, and I never had to take care of one till now, they are way to cute to whack. Lisa in houston tx
kill as many as the furry devils as possible
Play on this sight
I will Breed Vampire Bats with them, and make "Flying vampire Squirrels!"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES...THE WORLD WILL BE MINE!!
I'll toss a few extra filberts to our wise rodent masters who are here to lead us to a brighter tomorrow. -- Skwerlhugger Scott
I will sell squirrel tail hats 20.00 They look cool!
ill will go to dum dum school and learn dum things than come home from dum dum school and play with my squirrel twin.
Shoot as many of the little gray b's as possible, much like any other week.
I'll be holding up 'Save the Squirrels!' signs all week, while you go and kill all those squirrels. Don't you feel at least a little bit guilty that you are killing off so many animals? Why is everybody torturing these squirrels? Some people beat them in bags until they die. It is disturbing that some people think that is perfectly fine, while running over a frog by mistake is the worst thing you could possibly do. And why are we trying to kill squirrels because they are annoying? Why not kill off bees? They are annoying. Or what about that chinese water plant brought over to the States by chinese that kills all of our pond life? Why the squirrels?
I will pet them and hug them because i love them all!
I'm going to sit on the lake with a 40mm anti-aircraft cannon on floats... this is a big gun and with it i'm going to shoot anything that moves in the trees. Thank you for your time
I think that i'll stop the little Korean urchins from gathering all the acorns from the animals who really need them and wack em'with my wackin'sticks just like they do to all the little animals that really need them for thier hibernation!
I will capture one and duct tape his furry butt to a tree as a warning to the the other "Tree Rats" to STAY CLEAR.
grab a 22,stomp out in the swamp and set up a camp. i will not leave untill ive PWN3D atleast 10 skwerls,and the only hard part in that is finding the cummunist rats. ive never missed a skwerl before in my life.
I will eat some skwerl's nuts. Bwahahaha!!!
I don'[t think people should hit the squirrels they're living creatures too
I am going to lock myself inside my house, bolt my windows shut and roll into a little ball!!!
Put a sqirrel's head on a pole and light it on fire

Are they gonna hurt the poor squirrlies? squirrley squirel i like squirrels! POWER TO THE SQUIRRELS!

I will continue to do what I have done for the past two years after skwerls have bitten off my corner vinyl molding on my house,tore up every outdoor plant I had, and chewed the bark off the tree in my front yard - klll, kill, kill until there are no more left!!!
I'll draw a picture of a girl skwerl and wait for on of em to come by and kiss it. Then i'll blow it away with my 160 caliber machine gun until its gone throguh the earth and hell into China!

i will respect squirrels to the best of my ability i will also feed them peanuts as well as tasty sunflower seeds
Watch the baby squirrel that just started using our feeder
give em a powerbagel
Oh sure, squirrels LOOK cute and cuddly, until you get to know one, and it starts sending you a squid every month, and contaminates your Snapple so you turn into a monster every full moon. **sobfluff** What I'll be doing is renting a cement mixer and filling it with half cement and half peanut butter, and when the squirrels come to dinner, I'll start it churning at maximum speed.
I plan on running around dressed in a squirrel costume.
I am a squirrel, so I'm gonna find every last one of you and make you my slaves. then I will use my slave army to rule the world!!!
I will make a peanut and butter jelly sandwich for the squirrels with nuts on the side. I hope they will have lunch with me.
I will now and forever be a loyal caretaker of GOD's most Misunderstood and totally Forgiving Animals. For you see that some of Gods most miserable and ignorant(man) have no comprehension of the GOOD our furry friends do for this planet... So we have to protect them & ALL our creatures big or small(minded)from themselves... IN MOST CASES MAN CAN FIX ALMOST ANY PROBLEM... "BUT YOU JUST CAN'T FIX **STUPID** !!!!!
I will feed these frisky, incestuous critters and enjoy their antics.
I would like to put together a little squirrel paraid. All the squirrels will wear cute hats and march in synch! There will be no squirrel whackin' during the paraid only comradery over large quantities of nut juice. Maybe that famous cereal squirrel can make a guest appearance. -jennifer
I have what is now an entire regiment of pet squirrels raised and released in my woods. They are very intelligent and capable of doing just about anything they set their minds to. Since they are so spoiled, I will give them extra ordnance to celebrate their special week. They are definitly planning world domination and will not back down. Join or be conquered!
My wife makes me be nice to them but this week I won't!!!
I'm a certified member of the National Association of Squirrel Killers, Automatic Rifle Division. 'Nuf said?
I will shoot the skwerl with a tranquilizer gun then attach little tiny shock collars to them so that when the little &*^&%%$&&& start to move in to chow down on my garden the little *&^&^%& get Zapped to within an inch of thier lives!!!
be kind and fead them
Hey people, lighten up a little bit. Squirrels aren't bad at all...especially with a good BBQ sauce and stuffed with appels, over a mesquite fire with some apple wood thrown in for flavor. This year I'm going to freeze some of them and save them for the deep frier in later November. Other than that, they do provide an important ecological service. They help to aerate the ground when they dig all those little holes trying to find the nuts they buried last fall. And their only reward? Once in awhile they actually find one......broiled and dipped in honey mustard is good also......heh heh heh
Get my good old Benjamin Sheridan out!!!!!!!
I love squirrels!!!! They are some most precious little creatures alive! Most of the squirrels in my backyard are so trusting and tame that they jump up on my deck rail and peek into our kitchen door to see if someone is around to hand them some peanuts. My little buggers actually let me feed them and take their treats right from my fingers. I have to work during awareness week, but I'll make sure their treat dish is full every morning when I head off to my job. SQUIRRELS RULE! A big "Hi" to King Adrian and to my Riverside Drive Squirrel Lovers too!
I am going to watch squirrels and love them. I am a squirrel lover....not a squirrel hater!
I'D JUST LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE TO DRIVE SAFE AND PROTECT YOUR NUTS
I will feed them the finest nuts. (unsalted, of course!)
Love my baby squirrels
My school has a t.v show and during each broadcast we did an interview with a squierl beanie baby and we gave a squeirl fact it was fun!
I will go to church as ask the blessed lord to take all tractor drivers and people who want them taken away by the blessed lord, away!!!!!
squirrels are the enemy but an awarness week should be for squirrels, we have a ground hogs day, why not an awarness week for squirrels
i will get a gun blow their heads of than make a stuffed toy squirl out of them.
I LOVE SQUIRREL. AND RESPECT THEM. THEY MAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE DISABLED LIKE ME VERY HAPPY. THEY KNOW WHEN THERE LIKED AND NOT LIKED. PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE. Ilove SQUIRRELS!
I will be even more aware because those cute little critters didnt mean to hurt anyone if they did. At least they never hurt me. ~Alex
I will ask them to eat bush (george w)
It seems that no matter what I try I cannot rid myself of these mange infested bastards, so I am in the process of making a anti-freeze/nut dinner for the pesky buggers and hope to wipe them out. If this should work I will be makeing up mass quantities and spreading them throughout the parks in my area (out of reach of human cunsumption). If a few stray cats should be taken out, all the better. Next will be the rats with wings, those dung spewing pigeons.
wear anti-skwerl gear, and put out skwerl traps
I will do what all of us squirrles do! Try to take over the world!!!
I will love him and pet him and call him George and he will be mine forever...
Ill save my money to donate to my furry little friends
Kill tha F***ing Skwerlien B**chs
Make sure my furry friends have the nuts and acorns they need for the winter

We'll be having a HUGE Squirrel parade here in Simi Valley, California! I'm gonna hire an Elvis impersonator to sing "The Trouble with Squirrels" from his blockbuster movie "Squirrels, Squirrels, Squirrels". He'll be performing on top of the giant squirrel float that's made out of acorns, nuts, corn, & sunflower seeds.
Go on a hunger strike
im gonna kill and eat some squirrels all you animal loving nuts get a freakin life squirrel tastes great in a stew lol
One day i was out in the woods with some friends and johny came running at the rest of us with a squirrel hanging of his butt it had its teeth sunk deep. We had to knock johny out with a stick and then we had some golf practice with the squirrel.
i think that this is great i think that squirrels need to be appreacheated more and more each day!
Back in the days of th' elder gods, when mighty Cthulu set property tax rates, and it was still possible to get a decent skewrl fricasee at any truckstop, this obscene commemoration did not exist. So, I will drown my sorrows, remembering those halcyon days when I was still continent. AND YOU WONDER WHY I DRINK !!!
Chop up their nuts!! :"D
im going to hug a skwerl!!! SOOOO there HA HA
*pawrub* aneethinge i kan...
take em' for a mani and a pedi
Those tree rats ate my plants i was growin, im gonna shoot them in the head
I am the activity director at Cedar Lake Nursing Home in Malakoff Texas and we are studying the squirrel for awareness week. We put up special squirrel proof birdfeeders and spend time watching the squirrels madly trying to get in! It is quite humerous to observe!
I'm gonna go out in the yard with a big ol' bag of peanuts and pretend that I'm gonna feed the garden trashin little f__kers but hold the peanut just out of reach until they go fricken crazy muhahahahahah!!!!
Ok Yall are funny! Skwerls rock! I am part of a legion of skwerldom. Yall watch out for the kamikaze skwerls that run out in front of your car as you are driving. They are in training so please be kind. ~mew^..^
destroy all fuzzy-tailed-tree-rats!;)
Hide from the squirrels that surely will be coming out of hiding after realizing it is their week and the famished wolves have yet to be released. I thought this was a world of "survival of the fittest"?
I'm yankin up my tomato plants - the sqwerls ate all my tomatoes anyway.
I have killed 217 scumbag squirrels on 3 acres of woods in two and a half years. They had eaten my pecans, peaches, and pears for three years. For skwerl awarness week I will KILL SOME MORE OF THEM!!!!!!
Feed Ted something delicious. He's the squirrel that lives on our balcony!
be terrified.
Make love not war. Now where's that roll of sellotape.....?
I think I'll probably just take the squirrels out for dinner this year ... maybe we'll catch a movie afterwards -- one with animated squirrels, of course -- and then we'll just come home and celebrate the rest of the evening quietly in our little nest. The next day, of course, I'll go back to being a slave to the little dictators! Happy Skwerl Awareness week!
A squirrel named Rita lives at Edna Mahon Correctional Facility in Clinton, NJ. She is sweet...

Kill as many squirrels as i can possibly kill with my 10 gauge shotgun. Oh, and save all the tails too.
Celebrate it with Tosca, my 3 month old backyard baby skwerlly girl. She and I will eat peanuts and banana's until we pop.
Skwerlz to me are TLC. Tastes Like Chicken!! see recipe: .177 caliber X 1,000 feet per second + 4x Leopold = potpie. enjoy & remember...the only thing better than meat & potatoes is meat and more meat.
Last Fall the little bastards got into my attic and tore up all the christmas decorations and drug the ruins into the backyard and up into the live oaks for nest material!! I covered the hole they ate through my soffit with 2 layers or plywood and they ate through that to get the tinsel. Death to all tree rats!!
I will continue to feed my squirrels fresh almonds and walnuts [ even though they now turn their noses up at the walnuts ] and give them a fresh, monthly drop of kitty advantage flea/tick control.
I will let my cat out
kill my daily bag limit per day
i found a new born baby squirrel that fell from my tree the little thing was so cute... i dug a hole with my kids and buried it... so sad that it died... god bless
i will try putting all different stuff on my freaken pumkins this year.. each year the the liitle rats eat the heck out of all the ones i buy... so does anyone know what homemade stuff keeps the squirrels away? thanks
I will make a special treat for the squirrels in my yard. I will put a new corn cob in the squirrel feeder, decorated with lots of nuts, seeds and berries held on with yummy peanut butter. They are God's little creatures that he sent for us to love and care for.
