Animal charities are opposing the plans for culling greys.
Andrew Tyler, the director of Animal Aid, said: “People have been responsible for wiping out the red squirrel. It’s an excuse to blame the grey squirrel.
“They’re on a list of animals that are considered pests but they’re an indigenous species.
“The damage they do is exaggerated. Attempts to purge the landscape of them in the past have failed and this will fail too.
“It amounts to a bigoted pogrom.”

I watched a film on them which made note that the grey squirrels were an introduced species and not indigenous. It was from the Ministry of the Environment, or whatever the game branch is called there.
I am surprised the tree-hugger didn't claim them to be an endangered species as well.
