Alex Kirshenbaum of The Michigan Daily interviews Squirrel Club president Peter Feng.

Feng said he thinks the Ann Arbor squirrels play an integral role in campus life, and the club serves as a means of keeping them alive and growing.

“You don’t really find any friendlier squirrels around,” he said. “And we think it’s healthier for them to eat peanuts than the garbage they eat.”

Those who hope to do more than feed squirrels will be disappointed, though. When asked if the club has any goals aside from feeding the squirrels, Feng said, “No. None at all.”
