Urban Predator Needed

This blog thread posted by The Irving Inquisition uses some explicit language, as well as depicting some aspects of life in North Minneapolis that some readers may find objectionable. Reader discretion is advised.
1st Up: Urban Predator Proposal
Every day this blogger takes Amelia, the dog, for a two mile walk. It starts at the house, and we head south on Irving all the way down to North High. We walk to the end of North High, turn, go around the building, and turn again and head up Knox. We then walk through North Commons Park, where it empties us out on to James. We then take James through Cottage Park and then veer off to Ilion. We walk down Ilion to Glengale Park and then turn right on to Irving.
These walks are generally quite enjoyable and relatively thug free. However, one does notice certain characteristics of North Minneapolis that are quite detestable, yet easily fixed. What am I talking about? I’m talking about the morbid infestation of crows and especially squirrels. They’re everywhere, and they’re running amok. They have no predators, and as a result there are more squirrels in the hood than people.
So let’s introduce someone that has a taste for vermin. Let’s introduce the Great Horned Owl into NoMi. They’re native to this region of North America, and they eat squirrels. They could nest in one of the many trees or exposed and abandoned properties in tornado alley.

Jerk Du Jour: Rampaging Squirrels
Notice how the garbage bins have nibble holes in them? Sometimes its crows, but it’s usually squirrels. I’ve seen the little bullocks behind my house having their way with my trash bins.
They also like to feast on the trash the thugs leave around. Thanks for that, thugs. Then when they’re done stuffing themselves, they frolic around all over the place and have their squirrel mating rituals. Gosh, having a natural predator around to thin the herd would sure be nice.

| Squirrels in the streets just like thugs. |
 |
| Like chips, you can never have only one squirrel. |
 |
| They look like they're having fun. |
 |
| Climbing up and down any vertical surface. |
 |
| The courtship that will lead to more squirrels. Because we don't have enough already. |
