Squirrel experts in Devon which is the last English county before you reach Cornwall want to slaughter every grey squirrel so that they can introduce the red squirrel. They blame the greys on damaging the trees. Humans interfering on the business f animals never woks.

Apparently the mortal enemy of the grey squirrel is the great white shark. Technology has been introduced to mesh the sheer inhumane evil of the great white shark with the ability of the salt water crocodile (also not a terribly friendly critter) to roam on land.

Let's introduce this chimera to Devon and see what happens.

Grey squirrels are American imports and have no respect for the indigenous reds. They are notoriously brash, loud and have an elevated sense of entitlement.

It’s DEFRA that want the Greys numbers reduced. Greys carry Squirrel Pox, if a Red Squirrel catches it, it makes them very ill/ fatally so which declines their numbers. If someone finds and ailing grey squirrel or an abandoned baby grey Squirrel then it is illegal to return it to the wild after you’ve nursed it back to health, therefore if an organisation like SSPCA/RSPCA get involved they have no choice but to euthanise it.

In America where they come from they are hunted and eaten. But you have already had that argument.

I’m not so sure that GS do damage to the trees as after all, Deer do too, but they do eat more than their fair share of food than the Reds can get.

"I would love to see red squirrels but could they be a bit less mean with the greys, how about some nuts laced with squirrel contraceptives so they bow out gracefully rather than all out butchery. I can imagine that wouldnt be difficult to manage at all. "

Don't laugh - crazy scientists actually have a squirrel contraceptive ready!

It's all over the news

It’s DEFRA that want the Greys numbers reduced. Greys carry Squirrel Pox, if a Red Squirrel catches it, it makes them very ill/ fatally so which declines their numbers. If someone finds and ailing grey squirrel or an abandoned baby grey Squirrel then it is illegal to return it to the wild after you’ve nursed it back to health, therefore if an organisation like SSPCA/RSPCA get involved they have no choice but to euthanise it.

In America where they come from they are hunted and eaten. But you have already had that argument.

I’m not so sure that GS do damage to the trees as after all, Deer do too, but they do eat more than their fair share of food than the Reds can get.

They've stripped a hell of a lot of trees in the woods behind my house. Though the one immediately behind my garden is a sycamore that's covered in ivy and they have been nesting in that for years. There is a new set of young ones every year and they have never stripped any bark from that one. Great fun watching the young ones on their first ventures out.

Lots of fabbers want the greys shot or rehoused. Why not round them up and send them back to Uncle Sam

No, they need to stop fucking about with nature, it's managed just fine for 14.7 billion years. It knows best and will outlive us all.

Just a shame nobody told the original importers of non native species that their actions would alter the long established natural balance of life in the UK.

It's probably fair to say that when alien species, both flora and fauna, were introduced years ago nobody was aware of the long term implications as they only became apparent in the - er - long term.

It's not "fuckwits in science", it's people snuggling them in usually out of ignorance or doing it for profit. "Science" has nothing to do with it.
