Can squirrels get addicted to crack?

[editor]

I couldn't get into that - Mr Bezos has a pay wall.
Can I recommend this alternative publication dealing with the same issue - including a 20 second clip of an attack squirrel "acting out" in a age.

Meth gators!

If you flush drugs down the toilet, you could be creating 'meth gators,' cops say - CNN

A Tennessee police department is warning residents to stop flushing drugs down their toilet and sinks out of fear they could create "meth gators."

"Now our sewer guys take great pride in releasing water that is cleaner than what is in the creek, but they are not really prepared for meth," according to a Loretto Police Department social media post. "Ducks, Geese, and other fowl frequent our treatment ponds and we shudder to think what one all hyped up on meth would do."

The story went viral after being covered by multiple outlets in the national press including the Daily Mirror, The Guardian, Fox News, The Independent, Radio 4, The Sun, The Register, the Jonathon Ross TV show – and the front page of the South London Press

I seem to remember that a drug dealer died around the same time after swallowing a couple of rocks. How the press ever believed that squirrels could eat rocks that would kill a human is beyond me. Still it put U75 in the mainstream after @brianthecommander.

On the subject of bushy-tailed rodents and crime, it seems that the Calabrese ‘Ndrangheta are now recruiting dormice, possibly as sleeping partners
