This is a normal post You don't understand our country ways!!
I used to do woodland management on a voluntary basis. Part of the grant we got from the forestry commission was for controlling the grey squirrel population. These things are proper icky but for culling animals you have to consider the most humane method for getting rid of them. That's why stuff like this video exists.

The forestry commission recommended warfarin traps for the squirrels but after seeing the effect of them we decided shooting them was far more humane.

Can't see the point in this air rifle though. Above 12 ft lbs you need a firearms license... you've be better off with the rimfire. Or you could use a shotgun and accidentally shoot the mayor's wife in the arse with it like my mate's granddad once did.

This is a normal post That makes sense.
I personally don't like it much, but then I'm a bit of a namby pamby and I think foxes are cute!

This is a normal post It was dead already.
If you buy farmed meat you are probably paying for much worse to be done to live animals.
Worse shit happens on the road to all sorts of cute things.

This is a normal post Don't waste my time with facts...
the only thing that really matters is my personal comfort level. Cows being dismembered behind closed doors are not my problem.

This is a normal post It's not an animal I'd feel comfortable killing.
Grey squirrels are an invasive species, but I never took any pleasure in blowing their fluffy little brains out. I did it for the trees man. Won't someone please think of the trees?

This is a normal post Surely the air rifle is quieter and easier to silence?

This is a normal post Easier to silence but a faff having to carry around a cylinder of air to charge it up with.
