Default Grey squirrels - just as native as we are.

Grey Squirrels - just as native as we are

"Save our native red squirrels and kill the alien greys", is the
message being churned out by so-called conservationists in a cynical
and concerted hate campaign aimed at gaining public approval for the
mass slaughter of hundreds of thousands of these harmless, amusing,
friendly and social animals.


It's not just 'so-called conservationists' who are calling for the demise of
the tree rats, it's people like me who wish to eat some of the produce I
grow for my own consumption, and I happen to like seeing birds in my garden,
but both of these simple pleasures are stopped by the tree rats.

Your anthropocentric outlook is really quite pathetic. Why shouldn't
wildlife eat out of your garden?

And don't forget that Red Squirrels were also called "tree rats" by
those who wished to demonise them in the past.
