Topic: Red Dawn

In a bid to save the Red Squirrel from extinction it has been announced that there will now be a cull of Grey Squirrels.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/feb/10/grey-squirrels-cull-wildlife-conservation
  My only question about this cull is "Why stop at Scotland, why not permanently rid all of this land of the diseased, invasive, grey, colonial scum?".
To be quite honest I have been shooting the little bastards on sight since 2002/2003. I hate them. I abhor them. I mega-loathe them all.
Sometimes I want to torture them.
  Excessive? Probably. Necessary? Absolutely.

  Let me tell you, the Red Dawn is coming. I only hope it happens within my lifetime. But what do you think? Should we fix our 150 year old mistake? Should we accept the consequences and allow the obviously superior Grey to achieve total dominance? Does it really matter?
__________

  Hmm... I feel a shooting coming on...

For Sciurus Vulgaris!

Re: Red Dawn

"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. "

Re: Red Dawn

What's the difference between red and grey squirrels?

Re: Red Dawn

Red squirrels are denied the religious, political and economic freedoms we take for granted

Re: Red Dawn

Their communal society is inherently more just than the individualistic capitalism of the grey squirrel!

Re: Red Dawn

Saw a dead red squirl today. It was lying on the side walk, and not the kind run over by a car, a bike or something. Its eyes were sticking out. [w00f!]

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: Red Dawn

I've seen one like that before with the eyes popped out. The creepiest is when you hit them yourself and they are left to having a 15 second postmortem spasm in the middle of the street.

  Common misconception: We have guns, and we have gun licenses. Legally, these are very difficult to get, but I know a guy in the pub who knows a guy... wink
But seriously, you can take out a Grey with a .22 pellet rifle, all you have to do is aim for the little bastard's eye for a clean kill.
Or not.

I'm guessing one is red and one is grey.

Re: Red Dawn

It's also smaller and weighs less than the gray squirrel, which gives the gray squirrel a competitive advantage. It's why it's displacing the red squirrel in some regions of Europe. There's also other advantages that gray squirrels have, for example they can digest food more efficiently etc.

It's natural selection in action!

Die red squirrel die!

Re: Red Dawn

if you were fighting red squirrels and suddenly they all left and you got really dramatic 8-bit music and a squirrel-boss came for you, it would be a grey squirrel

So you shelter these red squirrels in your home?

Re: Red Dawn

We don't have any Reds around here any more (apart from me that is) so I just kill Greys at the minute, but I am considering planting a number of plants that bear foods that only Reds can eat and not Greys.
Who'd have thought a bloody tree could be so expensive?
