stubby 175 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Depends wether anyone was watching as squirrels are not a legal quarry if anyone is watching. Cheers, D. I beg to differ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richie10 345 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Had one in the garden a few years ago, some magpies were attacking it and it run over to my dads foot and sat on it. My dad picked it up and gave it a blanket which it held on to. We took it to a local rescue centre and they brought it up. The good thing is they can never release it, so it stayed with a good home. My Dad went on to kill around 20 that year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephOC 6 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I love all our wildlife - nothing cuter then fox cubs and baby rabbits and squirrels playing their games of chase up and down tree trunks. I was brought up in a bunny hugger home, and have a degree in wildlife biology. I'd still have killed it. Being a baby pest makes no difference at all. The only exception would be if that one wasn't a pest - eg. if you wanted one for a pet or something. Add to that the fact that it didn't run away and as already said, it'll probably, died of exposure/starvation, been run over or eaten by something anyway. The only argument I'd take for leaving it be is that its best to leave nature to take its course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lilvixen 26 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 FACT: GREY Squirrels are NOT IndigenousFACT: Grey squirrels are vermin FACT: Grey squirrels are ONE of the main reasons our indigenous Red squirrel is in decline FACT: Any sportsman/woman with conservation in mind would have knocked it on the head (no disrespect intended DM) FACT: Just my opinion Agreed, so all those who said leave it... would you leave baby rats as well then???

3jackwhite3 2 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 well it was your choice mate i would have killed it but they do make great pets if you decided o take it home. Here is a pic of my pet squirrel and he is tame as they come and i think he likes shooting but before anyone says why have you got it as a pet and why dont you just kill it, it is doing no harm to the environmet and he will not be let go back into the wild Quote Link to post Share on other sites
