I have asked the RSPCA whether, in their opinion, drowning of grey
squirrels
is a humane form of killing live trapped squirrels, and their
response
was
that the squirrels should be despatched either by shooting or by a
lethal
blow to the head.

Have any of them ever tried to get one into a position where one could
strike
a lethal blow to the head?

I don't know. However, if you consult the FC's current advice on grey
squirrel control in woodlands, it describes what they advocate as the
correct procedure in some detail.


And what is their view of killing rats and mice?


And what is the point of that question?

That they are all vermin.

So what? Are you implying that animals which are a nuisance (vermin) are
somehow undeserving of humane treatment?

You have not answered the question, what is their view of killing rats
and mice?

Is poisoning rats causing them to suffer an agonising death over many
hours, humane?
