We ate squirrel as children. I don't see why you think it is so strange. Dad even had a squirrel dog. (not a breed, but a rare trait in hounds that makes them both sight and scent hunters) He was offered 800 dollars in the 1960's for that dog named Bobo. He wasn't even a pure bred, but he was the best squirrel dog anyone had ever seen.
Personally I don't eat squirrel now. Haven't for years. But there is nothing fundamentally wrong with eating squirrel. Just because squirrel is a rodent? So what? Rabbits are rodents too!
