BrewDog employee 'was told to find humanely killed rodents' for brewer's 55% proof 'End of History' bottled beer packed inside taxidermied SQUIRREL

• The beer, called The End of History, was released by BrewDog in 2010
• Was the latest of releases by the firm that were slammed by health campaigners
• Former employee Jenny Lane was told to source 'humanely killed squirrels'
• She said animal rights group PETA was 'freaking the f**k out'

Squirrels - at least, the grey ones - are a destructive pest that damage trees and native Reds. The more that are removed from the habitat the better AFAIC. If PETA are freaking out then (a) that probably means someone's doing it right and(b) there are plenty more greys out there, just they are in their native habitat in North America, from where they were brought here in the late 1800s.

As for the ethics of packing beer in dead animals, well that's a whole different matter!

**** PETA. They are blithering imbeciles of the highest order.
I can't abide cruelty to animals, but PETA are not helping any cause with their screeching hysterical nonsense.

Darn silly. Like the whining for the guy who stuffed his cat who'd died of natural causes and turned it into a drone.

An unmarked police car approached me one night during lockdown as I was releasing mice from humane traps out in the countryside.

They informed me that animal welfare was a legitimate reason to be out of the house and let me go about my business.

The ones in London only eat tree bark if they can't get bin left overs.
