It's so sad to see the animals run afoul of us. A few years ago I lived in a neighborhood with a grey squirrel who did not fear humans. A neighbor named her Betty and she came daily to his garage for her ration of peanuts. She would take them from anyone in his garage...as if she knew the people there were all friendly. She kept here normal squirrel distance when not in his garage.
