Really? Vaping Squirrels?! Are We Serious Now?
Honestly, I need a moment. A moment to process the fact that we are now having public health warnings about…vaping squirrels. Seriously? Is this what we’ve come to? While actual humans are battling crippling addiction rates and a respiratory crisis fueled by nicotine, our concern is apparently whether woodland creatures are inhaling flavored vapor.
Im not saying animal welfare isnt important. Of course it is! But the sheer absurdity of the situation is staggering. Were dedicating resources – presumably taxpayer dollars – to investigate something that likely stems from carelessly discarded vape pens and the innate curiosity of squirrels. They find shiny objects, they chew on them. It’s what they do.
And now we have experts wringing their hands, issuing pronouncements about potential long-term effects on squirrel respiratory systems! Do they honestly believe a rodent is going to file a lawsuit citing nicotine-induced anxiety? Im picturing tiny squirrel lawyers arguing for damages. The mental image alone should be enough to make you question the priorities of… well, someone.
Let’s tackle the real problem here, folks. Lets focus on reducing vape use amongst humans before we start diagnosing bronchiolitis in bushy-tailed rodents. This is peak ridiculousness.
