If you’re like me, then you spend most of your waking hours daydreaming about a world where squirrels and humans coexist in peace. For one thing, it’d be a place full of hilarious rodents like the one below. And for another, it’d be devoid of people like Mike Huckabee — who said he used to fry squirrels in a popcorn popper back in college. (Seeing all those folks around him eating squirrel meat was probably what convinced him that humans haven’t evolved.)
But echoing what countless relatives, psychiatrists and elementary school teachers have told me in the past, there aren’t many people like me. In fact, it seems that my pro-squirrel views put me in the vast minority on campus, as Penn is overrun with people who’d love nothing better than to see our squirrels die.
