How many grey squirrels have you saved from being killed, Angus?

I have no idea and neither do you. But I do get emails from people who
support greys and will not participate in advising red squirrel groups
where they see greys. Good for them.

Then not only are they, like you, supporting the bringing to extinction
of the red squirrel, they also aren't being very successful at
protecting the greys in Northumberland, are they?

It's very easy to kill but that doesn't mean greys will not come back
to the same population in a very short time. All these people are
doing is wasting taxpayers' money because the reds are doomed anyway
according to Bristol University.

Or how
many deer, remembering that you have been campaigning here against
killing them for more than eight years?

There is a significant shift against the shooting of deer of which I
play a very small part.

ROFL!!


Since the ban on hunting with hounds, animal rights and welfare
organisations have turned their attention to the shooting industry.


You are indulging in wishful thinking, Angus, especially as it is only a
day or two after a call for a cull of Muntjac!

Don't worry about it, Malcolm. Rome wasn't built in a day.

I think you've chosen the wrong analogy, Angus, as you so often do. The
whole point about Rome is that although it took a long time to build, it
was then sacked in just one day!

So remember that as you so laboriously try and build Rome :-)

As far as I know, Rome is still in existence :-))

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
