" The squirrels were tangled up in twine. Hasn't the DNR guy ever heard of scissors or a knife? If he had taken them to a vet they could have been knocked out so they wouldn't bite and they could have been set free of each other. "

" Too bad a vet wasn't consulted. That's the DNR for ya - they always (**think they**) know best! I'm not a tree hugger or liberal but I think to help out where you can is just the right thing to do. To YUMMY - hope you never get in a bind such as a car accident that you can't free yourself - what do you call that? A good batch of YUMMY soup? BLAH! "

" Can't squirrels survive without tails? Rather than killing them if they can't be untangled, why not just cut off their tails? "

" Perhaps the public doesn't "demand" articles like this, but it is an interesting story. How often does something like this happen? It's very rare and an interesting read. I hope we find out how this freakish bit of nature is remedied. Yummy, chill out!! "

" I don’t know about anyone else but sometimes it is nice to read an article that is not about fighting, wars, criminals, and politics! It’s great to read articles like this and remember that humans are not the only living creatures on Earth. Let us know what happened. I hope they can safely be separated.

" Once again, thanks to the bloggers for giving me a laugh to start my day. Ooops, I guess I fall into both the tree hugger and liberal category. And not just a tree hugger, but an animal lover! I think these kind of articles are good-don't they balance all of the bad news? Please follow-up and let us know if the babies were separated and let go! "

" nothin like a good batch of squirrel soup. what a ridiculous article for the tribune to write. Is this the kind of news the public demands? How about covering something that won't stir up all the tree huggers and liberals. "

" I've read of this kind of thing - and it's not a mutation. Squirrels ( and rats, another animal to whom this happens) don't have flush toilets - and fecal matter can collect along with damp leaves and fur etc etc, and in the cramped space of the nest, fur gets stuck together - effectively glued.
Poor dears! "
