Here's an interesting line from that essay: "We can no longer sit back and wait for them to attack us. It's time we adopt a new doctrine regarding these other animals. We have to wipe out any and all species who are a lined against us, wherever they are. We can not rest until every big head carp, great white shark, mountain lion, moose and squirrel and any other species that associates with them are defeated."

This all sounds like one of those cheesy, B-grade sci-fi flicks of the late 50's & early 60's.
Hitchcock's Birds come to mind. Attack of the giant spiders, ants, etc.
Maybe Speilberg & Stephen King will get ahold of this squirrel thing.
<opening scene of a movie> Harry & Bob are walking quietly through the <choose your state> woods near dawn, 12 ga & .22LR on the ready, looking for tree rats.
Suddenly, from behind a bush, a 12' grey scampers out and devours Harry.
Harry, from the mouth of the rat, as his head slides down the esophagus: "Aaaaaayyyyyyyeeeeeeeee!!!!"
