Captured squirrels live to nibble again

Jack Malvern
For decades the traditional British response to finding a trapped grey
squirrel was to bludgeon it to death with a spade. Now a wave of
sentimentality has led to a change in the law, granting Sciurus
carolinensis a reprieve.

Until last year anyone catching a grey squirrel was required by law to
kill it to help to preserve the native red species. The legislation
has now been reformed, allowing people to release the animals into the
wild - but only if they apply for and are granted a licence to do so.


I wonder how many people have been successfully prosecuted for allowing a
'captured' grey squirrel to return to the wild?


I wonder how many would ever confess?

All of them. Little squeaky things with no sense of honour.

Yes it really is fuking insane to be actually releasing these annoying
little ****s back into the countryside. YOU RIDICULAS ALF MORONS. I'll
grab the latest copy of the 'Dendologist', which is an excellent tree
enthusiasts newsletter by the way, they have a few words to say about
this grey squirrels release scheme.

problems. IS THAT QUITE FUKING WELL CLEAR YOU RACIST ALF PERVERTS
