You don't swerve to miss them do you? That's being suicidal yourself. Just like if you are in a car you never swerve to miss a small animal. The only difference being on a bike if you are by yourself and no one is behind you hitting the brakes hard would be an option if you are comfortable doing it. Personally I'm not risking my bike or myself for a stupid squirrel. If you hit one, you even have dinner wrapped up!
