A new online petition has been started on the
Downing Street web-site: 'We the
undersigned petition the Prime Minister to find an
alternative to killing Grey Squirrels' - this is in
response to the large numbers of grey squirrels
which are being culled in northern England,
supposedly to protect red squirrel populations;
however, the negative impact of grey squirrels is in
question - and it is never right to use slaughter as a means
of control.
The deadline to sign this petition
by is 4th June 2008.
