He says he has the red squirrels at heart, but Charles may have more personal and political motivations for his bloodlust

    Queem Elizabeth should pass over the order of succession to Prince William. Charles is more than a little out of touch expecially with Camilla.

    I believe that was the plan all along, was it not?

    We protect native species in the US by killing off invaders so what's the problem? I don't care about Prince Charles but it looks to me like people are hating on him just because they want to hate on him. Maybe this is the right thing to do?

    This small mammal has some big ecological impacts�it has depleted populations of the European red squirrel through out-competition and disease (parapoxvirus), and displaces native birds of their nesting habitat, eating the birds� eggs and nestlings. It also competes with native mice and voles.

    Economically, Eastern grey squirrels cost homeowners repairs due to digging up of lawns and gardens, chewing through electrical wires, eaves and shingles, and nesting in roofs, attics, and chimneys. Fruit and nut trees and vines may not produce as well due to the bark chewed away from these critters.


    Get em Chuck.

    Under �Schedule C� of the Wildlife Act, homeowners in BC are permitted to live trap and humanely euthanise or shoot the Eastern grey squirrel. Trapping is most effective during winter months when food is scarce.

    Eastern grey squirrels are identifiable by their dark to pale grey backs that may be brushed with cinnamon on hips, feet, and head. Ears are buff to grey to white, and its tail is white to pale grey.

    Prevention and persistence are key to management of the Eastern grey squirrel. To prevent their spread, please consider the following measures:

    Don�t feed or relocate grey squirrels
    Keep all compost, garbage and pet food covered
    Use squirrel-proof bird feeders
    Please report sightings to your Regional Committee or the Invasive Species Council of BC at 1-888-WEEDSBC. Visit http://www.bcinvasives.ca for contact information.


    Maybe we could train our coyotes to selectively only hunt grey squirrels. Give them people's little yappers and cats as a reward.



    Fiddle Dog sure seems to worry about everything that goes on in Britain, and sees a cornspiracy behind it all. Now if he can just find the link between Chuck and the Muslims.

    And you sure seem to worry about everything I do. Admit it Andy, you ol dog, I fascinate you. :wink:

    Flattered I'm sure, and so, I will solve another little riddle for you in the life of me. I get most of that UK stuff from this Canadian blog I hang out at called Blazing Cat fur, then I follow the links to mainstream sources.

    Actually as far as Charles goes what irritates me most about him is his indoctrination to the Warmist Catastrophism scam.

    This whole invasive species thing is interesting. is a site with the main theme of "eat them if they ain't from here and eat as many as you want." I hear Florida and some island States have lifted all restrictions on spear fishing lion fish. There are also sites on their safe handling and cooking.

    Those squirrels that we sent to Britain are small payment for the Starlings, Sparrows and Norway Rats that came here from Britain and devastated out crops and native species. I think that fair retaliation would be to smuggle several mated pairs of raccoons into the Greater London area. It would get them away from obsessing about Muslim immigrants, anyway.

    The red squirrels are the Britain's native species, these grey squirrels are bloody foreigners over here stealing our jobs, clogging our NHS, sucking our benefits dry. Vote UKIP because the LibLabCons will do fuck all! Oh, and Charles will be King, Camilla will be Queen.

    ... and Nick Griffith will be declared Lord Protector after an angry mob stones Charles and Camilla to death siting Sharia law.

    Raccoons don't work, we have those and people still obsess about muslims here.

    It would be an eye opener in the U.K. where the highest predator that hasn't been hunted to extinction is the little red fox.
