Guest houndblair Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 What do you all think about culling the Greys to help the Reds, I think that all landowners farmers gamekeepers should all controll the population of the greys. The aim was not to completely eradicate the greys, which have a population estimated at more than two million - outnumbering red squirrels by 66 to one but to control them effectively now or there will be serious consequences that we will have to face! See yall at the squirell hunt!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ginge2k6 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 sorry mr. expert i shan't mention it again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest houndblair Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Course what ever the decision is we are always going to have those moltey animal rights nut jobs trying to stop it what ever the cost, so i think we should listen to the experts then get out in to the land and start this cull!!

borderterrier 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 It should be every land owners duty to destroy Grey Squirrels, the same as it is with rabbits. Rabbits <------- There are a couple of large ares around here that still hold Reds, but, a few Grey's have been seen recently. IMO, give them before its to late.

Guest kevsterjw Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 the mess the grey squirrels have made of my mother in laws chicken shed to get at the corn is unbelieveble. they are dumb too many a squirrel has been baited into my killing zone.

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 " Cull " ? That suggests trimming back their numbers. I'm with Old Skool on this one; Wipe the f***as out! Mink too. Demonstrate to me one iota of good either of these aliens do and I might alter my view Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stabs 3 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 The mink, along with the grey squirrel and the rabbit are non-indigenous pest species and should be eradicated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ginge2k6 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 sure why not eradicate rats and fox as well and then we will all take up nitting and model making and lurchers and terriers will turn into show dogs and forget about hunting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stabs 3 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I can't argue with logic like that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Straightline 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Greys should be culled right back to zero as they carry a virus that they are immune to, but kills the reds within 4 to 5 days. A recent survey in a woods that saw reds dissapear found the greys to have an exceptional amount of viral carriers! Now only reds are in mid Wales in pockets, ruthi, anglessey and scotland! Grey has a lot to answer for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
