Liz: Get ready for this: around  3:30 p.m. Wednesday,  I was heading down Poplar to pick up my son at school. As I waited at the intersection of Poplar and Fourth, I couldn't believe my eyes. Here is what I saw -- a car making the turn in front of me, and attached to it's bumper was a rope. Attached to the end of the rope that wasn't attached to the car was, um, a DEAD SQUIRREL!!!!  I could see its horrible little teeth and everything. It was rather bloody, as well. I am seriously hoping that the thing was dead when it was tied onto the bumper. Because if it wasn't, it would mean that some sick-o dragged a small animal around to its death deliberately (or someone else tied it on there still alive and he didn't notice it; just as bad). Hopefully someone just thought it would be funny to tie some already dead roadkill onto the car.  That would be the best case scenario.

Question: If Liz is right, and the squirrel was dead before it was tied to the back of the car, what do you make of this strange incident?
