That squirrel video made me spew my drink!
I was expecting it to turn around and bite the guy but what happened was MUCH better.

As we say around here, “hook ‘em, ‘horns!”
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Anyone who would get into an arena with live bulls just to try to antagonize them has a lot more problems than just a lack of situational awareness. I pull for the bulls in these situations.

I figured it was either that or a hawk or other raptor would snatch it. Didn't see the cat coming.

That's one of the funniest things I've seen ever. I do feel bad for the guy though. I'm still laughing a few minutes later.

There are people that laugh at all sorts of tragedies and misfortunes of others but that doesn't mean those things are funny. It certainly didn't appear to be funny to the folks that had rehabilitated the squirrel and were releasing it back to the wild and were screaming when that cat attacked it.
I can tell you that often times, wildlife rehabilitators form a relationship with animals much like we do with pets. It's not funny to them to see an animal they have cared for die, especially tragically, anymore than it would be if it was a dog, cat or other animal where a bond or feelings of love and affection are involved.
I have to wonder what part of the video you found funny. Was it the alarm felt by the folks when they started screaming or could it have been just watching a helpless animal that had no time to adjust to a new environment get killed?
I guess I missed the funny part.

prairieviper, I expect I'm wasting my time, but there's such a thing as "black humor".
I do understand the attachment that can/does form when one takes care of an animal for an extended period, regardless of species. I even feel a little bad for the feller that went to all that effort just to watch it fail in seconds.
But, the sick fuck in me (and I readily admit I have a larger dose of it than many folks) lumps it together with the seal that was rehabilitated and released and immediately devoured by an orca and other examples. I laughed at them too. Nature is a mother, and the cat was being a cat.
And I expect you wouldn't appreciate the fate of the bummer lamb I bottle fed into adulthood...
