1. Feed Them (Not to the dog!)
2. Educate Yourself - Look at them as more than just a pest
3. Let them be. If you're a squirrel hater, fight the urge to chase one, throw things at it, etc. (Shoot it, run it over,...) Give them their one day of peace.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
