Red Squirrel

  • Cute and cuddly?
  • (Picture of red squirrel sick with pox.)

    • Grey Squirrel

  • Verminous horror?

    • Trapping grey squirrels

    "If a grey squirrel has been caught it will be necessary to humanely kill the animal. It is illegal to release a captured grey squirrel."

    "The grey can be killed by shooting in the trap with an airgun, by a blow to the head or by being put to sleep by a qualified veterinary. These are the only legal ways to kill greys and ___ does not permit drowning, gassing or killing by other means."

    "NB: When shooting in the trap, do not follow the animal with the gun. Instead either allow the animal to settle down and remain still before the shot, or focus the gun on a given point of the trap and wait for the animal to move into range."
