'Berserk' squirrel disrupts planning meeting

Public officials for the Polish City of Bialystok were alarmed at being obliged to suspend a meeting in which they were discussing the felling of trees in a public park after a squirrel came into the office in which the meeting was being held by way of an open window and 'went berserk'.

The squirrel promptly set about destroying the officials' plans for the forestry programme in the public park and related paperwork. "If I didn't know it was impossible, I'd think he'd overheard us planning to cut his trees down." related one official.

The squirrel was eventually captured by wildlife experts and released in nearby woodland.
