I have no proof, but I suspect that if as reported a person was bitten, the squirrel was immediately killed in anger. They're not big, they break easily. And since "the cameras weren't working" (Epstein, anyone?) it seems logical to assume some sicko bully used violence on a tiny animal. Psycho/Sociopath.

This seems a reasonable speculation, based on my knowledge of squirrels and people from the government.

A long time ago, well over 20 years back, in our back garden, one of our cats caught a squirrel, and my wife interfered to save the shy woodland creature. She managed to pry the cat's mouth open and pluck the squirrel from the jaws of death, literally. And then the ungrateful little bastard bit her on the finger, drawing blood, and dashed off into the woods.

We washed and dressed the wound, and forgot about it. No hospital visit. No jabs. No nothing. She never developed tetanus or rabies or plague or even squirrel flu.

The SWAT team that took away those animals and killed them are thugs. In today's New York, I suppose we can't really expect justice to be done, but at the very least they all deserve a good doxing. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and their armed goons—don't let them forget what they did.
