Sergeant Kemsley was the first on the scene. 'After we tranquillised the squirrel and cleared the area, we took it to our Animal Rehabilitation Centre (ARC). There we discovered that the animal was an American Red Squirrel and was therefore native to America. It had been brought here by boat and had no time to adapt to its surroundings.' He stated.

To me, a five year-old girl, there were only two options at hand: stay on the floor and cry about the pain, or get up and deal with the situation. Ten minutes prior to this incident, I was content as I stood up in the spacious shopping cart, strolling along Cabela’s, the hunting and fishing gear superstore. Although hunting and fishing did not truly interest me, the taxidermied animal exhibits were fascinating, and contributed to why I enjoyed being at the store.…

At this point we did not have the hunting land that we do today, so we went to my grandpa’s house and hunted in the clearing of trees behind his house.…
