Grey Squirrel Victimisaton Awareness

Squirells are vermin, they carry the same kind of diseases as pigeons/ rats. The red squirrell population was kept in check due to its obvious pigmentation. The grey Squirells are bigger, more aggressive and breed faster than red squirrels. Therefore red Squirells are being replaced by more and more disease carriers. If the population of grey Squirells expands even more it could do untold damage to our ecosystem

What diseases would that be?

Aids, Ebola, swine flu.

If you're so worried about "native" Britain how about we re-introduce bears and wolves to your local woods where you walk your dog!

Actually, they are looking to re-introduce wolves to Scotland.

Personally I do see you're point about grey vs red. What I think should happen is we should maintain the red squirrel population "islands" but let non-encroaching grey squirrel populations continue as they are.

As an aside, grey squirrel is actually quite tasty - kinda like duck.

Anyone else noticed grey squirrels seem to have a lot more red to their coats over the past few decades?

Why do you care when you don't even live in this country .

I've always thought this about his posts.
Even though he lives in America he seems to post at the same time we're all awake.

But that sounds great!?

Make it so they eat children too and you'll have my vote Sir!

I actually shot one this morning at around 4:30am. Speaking of Crayfish, we had to save loads from a dried out river when I did my apprenticeship with the National Park. We found one American one and squashed it.

Anything and everything, anything a rat can carry a squirell can

Jersey ONLY has Reds, no greys at all.
