Captured squirrels live to nibble again

From The TimesFebruary 16, 2008 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? |
