The Exploding squirrels is hilarious. Almost as crazy as the time that this company was hired to 'humanely' solve the pigeon problem in my old home town.
The company spread special pellets everywhere that the town understood was supposed to poison them in a quick and painless fashion. Instead what it did was place them in some kind of a raging stupor where they flopped around endlessness in obvious distress for up to 20 to 30 minutes before they died.
They later found out that this was actually "part of the plan". The companies real strategy was to cause a giant pigeon panic that would fool the other pigeons into leaving the area forever. The dieing part, was actually unplanned.
In the end, it was a nightmare of bad optics for the town and the so called hired 'experts'. I didn't get to witness it myself but it is still a much used topic of conversation.
