A perfect sunny afternoon walk around Capitol Hill earlier this week was ruined by the most disturbing thing we've ever spotted on a Seattle sidewalk: a perfectly skinned squirrel, hairless save the still-furry tail.

Nope, all of the meat remained on the carcass, so it must have been some sick two-legged creature roaming about Capitol Hill. Made us glad that our animals are indoor only, but left us wondering if any of you have spotted skinned animals around Capitol Hill and what we can do about it.
