Whoa...There were black squirrels on my college campus about 15 minutes North of Niagara Falls, NY...I never saw any of them attack anything but pinecones, acorns and assorted other nuts. There are a ton of black squirrel over the border in Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake Canada...Maybe some of our Canadian brethern can chime in here.
I guess I will have to stock up on some more 10GA ammo and buy some new hip boots because the bs I just read is pretty deep.
