"Landowners will legally be allowed to shoot the grey animals as part of the culling set to start this spring, the newspaper said."

With what?

From all the stories lately coming out of there I am surprised they will let them have anything more deadly than a slingshot.

I can’t speak for anyone else here in Britain, but I’d probably use one of my shotguns or my old .303 SMLE Mk4.

This is really funny, up here in the Colorado Rockies we have an invasion of grey squirrels , who, by the way, are decimating our native pine squirrels and Abert squirrels. They are the ones with the tufted ears and black fur, smaller than the greys. Everyone knows that these “invaders” were brought to America from Europe, not the other way around. The truth is, our native species are losing out to the big guys, it is happening to our mountain bluebirds as well, invasion from overseas with many bird species causing so much destruction. The only way to stop these creatures is culling, period.

Naturalists and landowners are joining forces to rid northern Scotland of the [grey] squirrels, arguing they carry a deadly pox virus and threaten the smaller native red squirrel.
