Grand
Canyon National Park officials are investigating a YouTube video posted
over the weekend that appears to show a man luring a squirrel to the
edge of a cliff and kicking it into the canyon below.
The video -- which was quickly taken down and then republished by other
users -- shows two French-speaking men wearing boxer shorts and cowboy
hats, laughing as they lead the animal to the edge of the canyon. One
of the men puts on a shoe and kicks the animal, launching it off the
cliff.
An
EXTREMELY GRAPHIC iteration of the video is above.
Officials confirmed with AZCentral that they're investigating the
incident. It's not yet clear who the men are, whether they'll face
charges, or even if the video is real. The only thing park officials
know for certain is where the video was shot.
"The rangers do believe it is at Grand Canyon in the national park,"
Grand Canyon National Park spokeswoman Kirby-Lynn Shedlowski told the
news site. "It is under investigation. We are working with YouTube to
see if we can get any additional information."
I'm guessing the squirrel's name wasn't Rocky.
ReplyDeleteNice one.
ReplyDeleteThinking of the Seinfeld episode....."you can take him home now"
Saw the video post a week ago but didnt watch it. People being mean and all the bad news tends to make me think people are generally not so nice.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of abortions (partial birth and otherwise) that take place each year.

Are they going to arrest them for wasting food?
ReplyDeleteWell, two Frenchies aren't likely to shoot those rangers if they try to arrest them... unlike many of the illegals.
ReplyDeleteMore likely Canadians from QUEBEC (worse than Parisians).

Sir H,
ReplyDeleteThey can, just not for very long.
It's not flying. It's falling with style.

Cultural reference to the turkey drop incident at WKRP in Cincinatti, PD.
