Stop the killing of grey squirrels
I love grey squirrels, even if they do drive me mad watching them come
back and forwards like something possessed in my garden. 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 ;-) James http://www.ukjay.co.uk On 8 Nov, 07:58, Gloria wrote: On Thu, 08 Nov 2007 00:00:57 +0000, wrote: Read Professor Acorn's website www.grey-squirrel.org.uk 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. |

Wild Boars seem to thrive in the wild in the UK as it is now, however. Hence they're likely to be condemned as pests. |

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.

I have red squirrels in my garden, (Formby) they are so sweet, if we see a grey, we have to report it and the ranger goes and kills the nasty American pest! to see them if you live outside the northwest, go to BBC site, the Nature of Britain site, and look on the where you live section, click on the + sign just over Liverpool, and zoom in until details appear, then you can see the cute little rats with tails! |

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.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence... They are a creature of the universe, They have a right to be here.
