We don’t have squirrels here, but if we did, I would run over them with joyous abandon. Fucking bushy-tailed tree rats, that’s what they are.

My mom's therapist saved a baby squirrel. He even built it an in home habitat. The guy was cute and adorable, and very friendly. It eventually escaped, but not because it hated humans, it simply grew up. If you hate squirrels it only means you hate squirrels, it doesn't mean that individual squirrel is evil.
All animals you don't like are bad?
Bats and black cats are wrongfully vilified in pop culture. Doubt the Irwins would agree with you that squirrels are deserving of scorn. I don't like snakes or great whites, but they all are part of nature and benefit life.
In fact, this episode clip made me appreciate fruit bats more than I did before. They are very social.
Squirrels here would be an invasive species, and as such would do more harm than good. It’s not hate, or thinking that animals are evil (animals CAN’T be evil). It’s a matter of ecological awareness.
