> They can always hunt with spitballs!

More likely to use air rifles, which I believe are still legal there.

There is a fellow who makes a roaring trade hunting grey squirrel to sell to local pubs as a delicacy. He ought to do quite well out of this.

"More likely to use air rifles, which I believe are still legal there."

The Delisle silenced carbine, which saw use by various commando units in WWII, had its origins in the inventor's quest to supplement meat rations with squirrel and rabbit collected from his neighborhood.
