Butters the Squirrel

 Some guy in Palmerton, Pennsylvania, wants to put a plaque in the borough park in memory of a squirrel.  Evidently the squirrel ate peanuts out of people’s hands, and somebody started a Facebook page dedicated to the rodent.  Then, according to a story in today’s Times News, Butters suffered the fate of numerous fellow squirrels and was run over by a car.

I would urge the Palmerton council to hold firm and reject this proposal.  Otherwise the park will soon be inundated with plaques dedicated to deceased dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, horses, chickens, ducks, raccoons, pot-bellied pigs, 4-H steers, snakes, parrots, and goldfish.
