Several baby squirrels were discovered with their tails braided together on train tracks in Berlin, Connecticut, and veterinarians believe that it might be a case of animal abuse.

The four six-week-old squirrels were found last week, said the Kensington Bird and Animal Hospital, adding that the tails were braided in pairs while two knots were braided into a big tangle.
