It went completely nuts.

UK residents were left reeling after a crazed gray squirrel went on a wild Christmas rampage in Buckley, Wales, injuring a staggering 18 people in two days. Facebook posts detailing Rocky’s reign of terror are going viral.

“Warning, vicious squirrel that attacks,” wrote Nicola Crowther in the Buckley Residents Facebook Group on Dec. 26 along with a grainy photo of the furry culprit on a fencepost. “Has bitten me, attacked my friend … and multiple other people.”

“It’s also attacked my two Bengals, who fear nothing, and my neighbors’ Bengal cats,” she added. “Dare not go out of my house, as it’s lurking.

Another bite recipient, Sheree Davidson, told SWNS that she was taking out the recycling when the “psycho” squirrel jumped out at her from behind the bins and chomped her on the hand.

“I’ve got teeth marks on the top and bottom of my finger,” she lamented. “It proper latched on and I had to shake it off. He’s taken the top layer off my knuckle. His teeth are like pins.”

Davidson also uploaded pics of her bloody finger to the Facebook group with the caption “it had me good an proper little s–t.”

The nutty critter, which has since been dubbed “Stripe” after the evil character from “Gremlins,” reportedly didn’t discriminate in its attacks, lashing out at the elderly, children and pets alike, and biting them everywhere from heads to legs, SWNS reported.

Nowhere was safe, as the critter would launch at people in the gardens and even chase them down the road.

Many victims had to receive tetanus shots after getting savaged.

“After arriving at the hospital, I had to have a tetanus jab because the squirrel broke my skin,” said technician Scott Felton, 34, who was ambushed by the psychotic treehopper while smoking on his patio.

He added, “I know of someone else too who had to have a tetanus jab because theirs didn’t stop bleeding.”

During the course of its two-day biting spree, the bloodthirsty squirrel reportedly injured 18 people with a staggering 21 attacked since Dec. 23.

Salvation finally came on Monday after 65-year-old Buckley resident Corinne Reynolds decided to trap the hairy hellion.

Locally known as the “bird lady,” the mom of seven had been feeding the squirrel since the summer, but decided to act after getting bitten on the hand herself, and seeing “all the Facebook posts” regarding the attacks.

“To be honest, he was giving me cause for concern with his unusual behaviour,” said Reynolds, who wondered if Stripe had “something going on inside his head like a tumour.”

Reynolds said she especially worried about the animal’s violent tendencies as she had “an elderly lodger on blood-thinning drugs and a 2-year-old grandson playing in the garden too.”

In order to protect them, Reynolds snared the rogue rodent by putting out a cage in her garden filled with peanuts, Stripe’s favorite snack. The senior then handed him over to the RSPCA, which euthanized the critter, as it’s illegal to release them into the wild in the UK.

Reynolds had mixed emotions about Stripe’s death. While reportedly “relieved” that she was able to protect her loved ones from the bloodthirsty critter, the senior was also “sad because I’m an animal lover and because of me this squirrel lost his life,” she told the Evening Standard.

“I know people don’t like gray squirrels but they are all God’s creatures to me,” Reynolds insisted.

According to the British Pest Control Association, gray squirrels are an invasive species that was introduced to the UK from North America in the 1870s to enhance the aesthetics of upper-crust estates, the ES reported.

They continued to be introduced until the 1930s, when the government finally recognized the environmental havoc they caused and banned people from releasing these problem animals into the wild.

Stripe’s biting spree isn’t the first instance of a cutesy critter going completely nuts. Earlier this month, a Singapore resident was hospitalized after getting accosted by a gang of otters, which reportedly bit him 26 times and left him thinking he “was gonna die.”

Fuck that! Rabid little bastard literally bit the hands that fed it. It's lucky it got to die peacefully for its crimes.
 
I know the bongs say rabies doesn't exist on their little island but all those...migrants...may have reintroduced it. Squirrels fascinate me, cute little rodents that they are. I used to feed then when I walked my doggo in the park and can confirm, they love peanuts. One used to follow me around the block, even followed me to the church rectory, we named him Scrappy. Miss you little bushy tail.

They aren't mean or aggro to humans, they just like getting fed. I had to be careful to make sure we didn't have physical contact because here they indeed are known to harbor rabies. The bong squirrel may have had a prion disease that caused its weird actions, it's very unusual.

I agree with bong granny though; they are all God’s creatures and deserve respect and affection whenever possible (and feasible, I'm not hugging any rattlers, tigers or coyotes, nope).
 
PL: I live in south Florida and we have a couple squirrels living near our house that go ape shit screaming at us or the cat through our pool screen enclosure. One of them also obliterated a snake in our driveway while I watched and I had to clean the snake blood and parts up (black racer I think, but hard to tell from the carnage). From living up north I thought they were just chill little chattering things. Nope, they can go nuts (lol).
 
The squirrel has more freedom than the average britbonger, lmao.

The squirrel was wise to choose a cucked place to terrorize. The first time the little faggot would try shit in America it would get shot, in Russia it would get beaten to death with a sink that was laying by the roadside.
In China, it would get eaten.
 
If only they had a gun
Even then, it mightn't have been that simple.

In Australia, during spring, some communities get terrorised by killer magpies. They need to get the council to approve paying a qualified pest control service to 'destroy' the magpie, even though the average joe could probably get the bugger by poisoning it or throwing a rock.

You'd still be fined for committing an offence.
