Good for you, but for a large number of the damned things they are a pest
which causes a lot of damage, and I always encourage anyone to kill the
damned things.

The same issues apply equally to reds. In fact it wasn't so long ago
that they had a bounty on their heads up North and were brought almost
to extinction because of it, and habitat decline.

The red problems have nothing to do with the greys despite what the
CONservation hooligans would tell us.


Did anyone see autumn watch where someone may be introducing Wild
Boars
into The Forest Of Dean?
They could have introduced a few Red Squirrels while theyre at it ;-)

I would encourage the return of the red squirrel!

It never was in the forest of dean!

As the funding is now being slashed for CONservation hooliganism these
days, perhaps we will see a decline in the fabricated grant seeking
scare stories about wildlife decline, and let Britain's diverse
species and habitat be!

Which would be great for the vast majority of the population who enjoy
grey squirrels, ruddy ducks etc.
