Again, why should squirrel pelts be any different than rabbit pelts?

Rabbit pelts are white.

Because one requires a skill and combat, and one doesn't.

Rabbit pelts are white.

And beaver pelts are ...brown(?)nish, yet, they, snake skin, deer, bear,... all make one limed hide, all but the squirrel...

The difference in skill and "combat" needed to pick up a rabbit, compared to a squirrel, is barely measurable.
If anything, I believe rabbits are slower, and therefore easier to catch.

No dude every one have sometimes been killed by a rabbit as a noob. Or at least I have.
Squirrels on the other hand pose no threat to a 5555.

Hmmm, wonder what will happened if i feed jelly to squirrel.

I think, if anything, snake skins and rabbit skins should be unable to make leathers because of their small size. Squirrel skins are going to be even smaller. Before we'd make squirrels usable for leather, I'd say we should make snakes and probably also rabbits not usable. Otherwise, yes, since squirrels don't need any combat ability, they shouldn't be able to provide leather. Your argument that rabbits are practically that easy to get is silly because if it were true, you wouldn't be arguing for a change.

I did not say they are easy to get as in being more frequent, though I would have to walk quite some distance before I see a single squirrel (except for going to providence).

Anyway, I see you are set on that one and I can't change that with reason, so be it.
I only asked because squirrels seem a bit useless to me, and at least using their pelts would be something.

They are useless for you because you are not the target audience for them. As with all the other spam junk recently added, it's aimed at noobs so they still get some benefit from picking up stuff.
