Squirrel attacks 4-year-old over potato chips

If you had any doubts that squirrels were potentially nasty creatures, perhaps this story will sway your mind one way or another a little bit... In Mountain View, CA's Cuesta Park, a squirrel stole a bad of snack chips from a woman's purse while on a family picnic. The 4-year-old spotted the squirrel eating the family's chips, then did what probably any 4-year-old would do: she went to get back 'her' chips. Unfortunately, the squirrel was not so friendly and started attacking the girl, scratching her face up. Cuesta Park has been the site of multiple squirrel attacks in the past year. Park officials have increased patrols, posting warning signs all over, and euthanizing some of the more "aggressive" squirrels, to the irk and dismay of squirrel lovers everywhere.
