I don't think anybody should be blaming Grey Squirrels for the demise

of
Red Squirrels. Grey Squirrels are in the UK only because of stupid
humans.



You could say the same about most domestic animals, agricultural and
horticultural crops, ornamental birds and plants. Clever humans have

spread
them round the world, you have to take the rough with the smooth.

Well, no, you don't have to. You can do what man is now attempting to do
with a number of introduced species, which is removing the rough for the
benefit of the smooth :-)


I do admire your optimism, Malcom :-)
