Appreciate the squirrels

 January 21st is Squirrel Appreciation Day, an important event in the calendar founded by some weird American on the internet a few years ago. I think squirrels are great, as I've mentioned many times on this blog.

So I'm rather disappointed to find something called the UK Squirrel Accord, a big bunch of sciurine racists, have claimed the day as "RED Squirrel Appreciation Day", and have a whole website full of articles about how to get rid of horrid invasive species like grey squirrels. Sciurine racists, I tell you. Grey squirrels are great, and I'm going to form them into an army to take down this horrid bunch of horrid people.
