The UK should carry out a genocide on and towards their grey squirrels
They are an invasive species and replaced the prettier, native red ones. I think a bounty might cause people to set up indiscriminate traps so wouldn't go there, but I think we should figure out a way to genocide grey squirrels
They’re already causing a genocide towards Badgers for “environment/health” reasons and it’s done fuck all, except to harm badgers more and its population.
Yes, grey squirrels are invasive to red squirrels, but that’s cuz they’re stronger genetically than red ones, so it’s not exactly you can do much, cuz it’s in their genes.
Best thing to do is protect red squirrels and actually grow a population of them in a safe environment so they are not at risk of extinction. These conservation efforts have proven time again to be effective for this, whilst not causing harm to other populations of species as well.
