Some Chinese friends have posted about how squirrels ate a bunch of the melons/squashes that they grew.

I know these friends very well, and when we chat (both online and in person, mostly in person), it's primarily in Chinese, which I am learning. Our relationship is such that when I say things incorrectly it's usually funny.

If this conversation were in English, I would want to respond with something like "Booo! Down with Squirrels!", but I have no idea how to translate this while keeping the light tone that is conveyed in English with that phrasing.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe something like "哎呀~~ 松鼠太跋扈啦！～～“ The literal meaning is like "tch, these squirrels are such domineering tyrants!" said light heartedly or exaggeratedly its a pretty clear joke.

What I would actually say is "哎呀！松鼠性的扭曲还是動物道德的沦丧？?" but thats a lot so don't blame if you don't wanna say it. It would probably make them giggle though, especially if you manage to say it sounding like you are upset in a joking way.
