And to top it off, I am not sure it is not still happening to other people somewhere in the world. Or worse.<br /><br />Hawks, and Sharp-shinned and Coopers, will not eat a squirrel or attack one. I suspect they know that teeth that can cut through a walnut shell can cut off toes in one bite. I have seen squirrels change big old female hawks off the fence, just so they could run on past, and I have seen them chase hawks out of trees. But I have seen a hawk capture and eat a chipmunk. So I don't think your squirrels are being eaten by hawks unless you have different hawks. lol Thanks for your visit to my blog about the hawks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-70392306955726816132009-11-03T05:38:44.300-05:002009-11-03T05:38:44.300-05:00What an interesting though sad story.

It reminds me of the movie about the lady that took on a huge company when she noticed people around the plant were getting sick and dying. Glad there are people out there that dare to take on the establishment.

When I was reading it and got to where they sharpened the brushes with their mouth, I thought Oh No. Thanks to the radium girls for bringing it to notice but so sad for everyone working at that factory. I can't understand why some people just don't value human life, but like the Old lady of the hills said..............GREEDcaspersmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181735701966287433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291036096319705346.post-88125589898663493112009-11-02T21:27:40.057-05:002009-11-02T21:27:40.057-05:00This is such a heart rending story, Margaret...I k...This is such a heart rending story, Margaret...I knew it was going to be something horrendous the minute I saw the word "Radium".....The fact that the company KNEW how dangerous Radium was yet encouraged these women to do all the wrong things--PLUS giving them no protection whatsoever is so deeply appalling that it makes one want to scream and beat ones fists...!<br />The saddest thing to me is that this is just one example of the things that company's knew what the dangers were---there are any number of other terrible story's like this, involving other dangerous substances that the various company's never shared with any of their workers. That film "SILKWOOD" with Meryl Streep, was about this very kind of thing--it was based on a true story about Karen Silkwood.<br />Thank you for posting this Margaret. These women were so brave to take that company to task, even though it was such an up hill battle.<br />It makes one wonder where is the humanity in these situations? How can people be so non-caring? The answer?
