Which is better, squirrels or llamas? I like llamas because they are just so fuzzy and silly looking. While squirrels have been known to take on motorcycle riders and even the police, you cannot state that a squirrel is in any way better than the joy that is a llama.


Which IS better?

I think squirrels are better as they have several advantages over Llamas:
Adaptability: Squirrels are known for their remarkable adaptability to changing environments. They can thrive in a variety of habitats, from urban parks to dense forests. On the other hand, llamas are well-adapted to the high altitudes and harsh conditions of the Andes mountains, but they may struggle in other environments.
Cuter Appearance: Many people find squirrels to be adorable with their fluffy tails and cute faces. In comparison, while llamas are majestic animals, their long necks and awkward proportions may not be as visually appealing to some.
Accessibility: Squirrels are a common sight in many parks and neighborhoods, and people can easily observe them in their natural habitat. In contrast, llamas are native to South America and are not commonly found outside of zoos or farms.
Ease of care: Squirrels require minimal care and attention, as they are able to forage for food and build their own nests. Llamas, on the other hand, require specialized care and feeding, making them more difficult.

I have never had a problem with a llama.

But I had to add aluminum sheathing to the bottom of my cellar door because a squirrel had somehow found his way into the cellar and was trying to gnaw his way under the door to get into my kitchen. I gave up on trying to keep a bird feeder, because the squirrels got pissed because it was empty (because they'd run off the birds and eaten all the birdseed) and knocked it down and chewed holes in it. My parents have had, on two separate occasions, squirrels get into the attic and then chew their way down through the ceiling to and drop down into the main house where they ran around knocking things over and chewing on things.

Llamas, and we should do to squirrels what Alberta claims it did with rats.

Well, maybe just send them elsewhere instead of killing them all, but this country isn’t big enough for squirrels and humans both.

This takes me back to the "Crunchy tacos vs the Hegelian dialectic" days.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

From a very human-centric survival and civilization-building perspective, Llamas. They don't carry and transmit as many diseases. They have more utility for work and transport. They can be raised and slaughtered for more food. And I daresay Llamas significantly contributed to the success of South and Central American civilization.
