I believe that squirrel flavour crisps have been introduced by walkers?

I'm not altogether sure I approve of this mass grey squirrel killing.

Humans messed up by introducing the greys and is now trying to put the genie back in the bottle. It's too late and nature must take its course.

It makes good sense to cull greys on islands such as Anglesea, IOW and the various Scottish isles - if there are any - and encourage reds.

Culling greys on the mainland is pointless.

Anyway, greys are about the most intelligent thing in a little furry suit. Cleverer and more acrobatic than my dogs and cats. It's no wonder they are so successful.

Someone once said they were 'rats with good PR'

They are bigger, stronger and carry a pox that is deadly to their smaller cousins. Their raids on bird tables have made them a public enemy to some, but the grey squirrel's apparently relentless conquest of Britain may now be over.

Naturalists and landowners are joining forces today in a drive to effectively wipe out the grey squirrel from northern Scotland. It is believed to be the largest cull of a mammal yet seen in the UK, with many tens of thousands of grey squirrels expected to be trapped and killed under the government-sponsored project and shot on sight, legally, by landowners.

SKA = Squirrel Killing Armageddon.
