My first thought was "that is just wrong," but then I saw this one:

And it put the barbie thing in perspective.

I don't approve either, but it's not really out of concern for the squirrel -- the little buggers are pretty tough and weigh very little. If it didn't catch itself on a handy tree limb it probably just hit the ground, rolled a few times and developed a mortal fear of pasta strainers.

I'd love to build something like that for one of my dogs -- he'll litterally chase a ball 'till he keels over if you let him. But he's such a ninny he'd be scared of the ruddy thing.

You should hear some of their other sounds. There's one that's kind of a wheezing squawk -- took me
years to figure out it was squirrels making the sound, but I finally spotted one while he was doing it. Their whole bodies swell up like they're trying to breath in a whole baloon and then they cut loose with this indescribable sound. It's just a bit creepy to see, actually.
Actually,
here's a small collection of squirrel sounds, the one I'm describing is the first one on the list (over on the right).
