I think in case people are not aware it is illegal to let a grey squirrel loose in the wild. You are thus obliged to kill what you trap. I have heard of people drowning them which I think is cruel. An air rifle does the dastardly deed succesfully.They are in fact tree rats, of the rat family, if they did not have a bushy tail averyone would hate them. They carry squirrel pox, which they are imune to, but pass it on the the native red squirrels and this kills the reds. please please do not put greys where there are reds and for once I think the law r right, kill them. I say exterminate the lot and give the reds a chance again, oh and our trees that the greys decimate of course.
