To kill a squirrel for not good reason is an offence against nature.....grey squirrels are here now....they are okay.
|
|
By:
Leopard - They are arguably pretty, but it is perfectly legal (and indeed desirable) to kill grey squirrels. There are very strong environmental reasons why a vigorous campaign for the eradication of this pest should be waged.

I love Urban Foxes but unfortunately they may have all died or been wiped out recently as I haven't
seen any round my neck of the woods in 6 months.I used to make them stop in their tracks and look at me from clicks I made with my mouth they knew me in a way but they have all gone or been killed on the roads sadly  |

Foxes aren't vermin as I believe if you keep livestock protect it and foxes won't take it
they might take a couple of lambs but I don't think they would ever destroy flock after flock and if you have a problem go out ith a gun and night sights you don't need 200 hounds and 50 horses with hoorah Henry's aboard. |

By:
Fox hunting is mainly a social thing,a way of showing hierarchy in the local society

" Under Schedule 9 of the WCA, it is illegal to release a grey squirrel into the wild, or allow one to escape. This means if you trap one, you are obliged to humanely dispatch it. You must not let it go as this act would be illegal. " |

Thank you Facts. I was wrong!. Good news mind

Just because Grey squirrels are becoming more numerous doesn't mean we have a right to kill them.
|
|
By:
Leopard, I love animals , but Grey Squirrels are absolute vermin. No coincidence they're called ' tree rats '
|
|
By:
On again..... Grey squirrels are very clever… why are they vermin?
|
|
By:
I suppose It's like when that the Europeans went to North America.

Not good what they did to the native Americans

Spread disease, kill off red squirrels, raid birds nests, ruin bird feeders. Damage to buildings, electrical cables bitten through. Trees destroyed. |
|
By:
A contraceptive could be supplied to them through feeding points and the population would fall.....much more humane.
|
|
By:
Would they know how to put it on though ?
|
|
By:
They are quick learners.

Lots of urban foxes in my neck of the woods and they are brazen, out and about morning, noon and night scavenging. Lots of red robbins around in the last couple of months and countless grey squirrels. There used to be two owls in Dulwich Park fairly often but haven't seen them for a few months.
