Anyone ever heard of the RSPCA laying anyone off?

 

yes member of staff releasing a schedule 9 species into a SAC designated site because of its populations of one type of a species and the one released was its highly competitive invasive foreign cousin, sorry cant say a lot more than that :thumbdown:

Err wasnt for me.

 

Maybe he should have burned the squirrel to death, tbh I never heard anyone who died from burning say it was a bad way to die.

 

 

 

Come on, does anyone really think they would rather be drowned than killed instantly?

 

I think you will find that 99.99% of people have panic and fear on their faces while they are in the process of drowning.

 

I say wring the little furry critters neck, skin and gut then place in a nice bath of boiling hot oil, well if it was good enough for Elvis.................:thumbup:

I am currently thinning a stand of oak where the Squirrel damage is tremendous. You can not guarantee an "instant" death, even at point blank range, in a cage, the squig can move his head at the precise moment you squeeze the trigger and wounding is inevitable. I work for a little old lady who takes great delight in telling me how many she has caught and disposed of, in the water butt, I just tell her to not tell anyone she does that. The RSPCA are always looking for an easy prosecution, and if you get someone belligerently saying " yes, I drowned it, so what", they will do you. As mentioned earlier, a positive outcome for them brings publicity and money flowing in to the coffers.

Personally, I feel the grey squirrel is just a rat with a fluffy tail, I would gladly see every one killed, bring back the reds.
