    Re: What do you think about Grey Squirrels?

    "Clark Kent", a good news story for Red Squirrels!

    But it isn't, unless you could train all wild Red Squirrels to walk into a veterinarian surgery at the first signs of illness. No, even that would be too hopeful, most wild infected squirrels would succumb long before they could even make it to their local vet.

    One very lucky survivor does not give any realistic hope for the remainder of the population's chances of recovering from this squirrel pox.

    Grey squirrels are a invasive pestilence and should be hunted to extinction on these shores.

    There's the topic of your next conversation. Robin's, good or bad?

    In the UK, considered adorable, in most of Europe, considered aggressive pests.

    if you aimed a well placed lead pellet at the Robin, it would either ninja kick it back, disarm you, peck your eyes out, stick your gun up your washer and leave you to drown in a puddle face down...

    or...

    the entire world would hunt you down, and that INCLUDES Father Christmas who would bring THE spade that the Robin sat on for all those Christmas cards

    I'm assuming that's a "Killing Joke"... think about it
    If Wisdom is the coordination of "knowledge and experience" and its deliberate use to improve well being then how come "Ignorance is bliss"
