Urban foxes, squirrels and parakeets don't have any predators.
Likewise neither do the deer or rabbits in the parks near me hence the reason they are culled."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Depends on if they were killed humanely or not
Can't tell you how many I've shot over the years - Greys of course.
I've eaten a fair few as well. - Squirrel Korma is lovely.
They are a nuisance - rip the bark from trees, and egg the eggs from songbird nests, and of course qas their numers increase, as does their territory and red squirrel numbers decrease.
Therefore I shoot them for conservation.
OK for every one I shoot another comes in, but then I shoot that one as well - and thats less to move into red territory and more chance for the songbirds.Last edited by FarmerPalmer; 10 April 2008, 18:48.Comment
