Of all the major crime going on in the city they go after one pet
squirrel.  Seems about right for the mentaliy of this country.  The
squirrel was easy to find.  Trapped in just a few rooms.  Maybe they
should give the man harboring the squirrel a few years in prison for
doing something so serious of a crime.Don't worry about the thousands of
illeagal people in the city.

 Ignorant people like Bill Sloman think that squirrels are just rats
with a bushy tail, but they are *way* more intelligent and social.

Squirrels and rats are both rodents, and both are moderately social animals - rats more so than squirrels.

Cursitor Doom is remarkably ignorant, and doesn't seem to have any idea quite how ignorant he really is.

They're easy to tame and enjoy human company. And they care about each
other more than a lot of humans do.This short clip is very touching
and shows this not untypical behaviour:

Snipped the usual sentimental nonsense.
