North American grey squirrels have taken over England and wiped out the native red squirrel population. This demonstrates that the two populations can't live side by side and that if greys are permitted to encroach the reds will eventually be eliminated.
The greys now have a toehold in mainland Europe and are rapidly expanding their territory at the expense of the reds.
Should grey squirrels be holocausted in Europe in order to preserve the native red squirrel population?
Should the greys be exterminated in England in order to return the reds to their natural and rightful homeland?

sounds like a skill issue for the reds.

It would be impossible to remove them. You'd just end up spending so much time and money on removing them, then have them come back to the same population level they were in a couple years. Besides, gray squirrels ARE cute. I don't understand why eurofags are attached to those ginger rats.

squirrels barely ever carry rabies, its not a threat. this is because if a rabid animal (or any animal) manages to bite a squirrel, the vast majority of the time the squirrel cannot get away and dies. I know this because I was accidentally bit by a squirrel once and learned all about rabid squirrels after from health care people

I was actually lying with that post. The red squirrels are better adapted to avoiding the European pine marten. Where the pine marten is present the gray squirrels are eradicated. The grays have only become dominant in England because you guys have destroyed the natural environment. If you think grays are ugly then I guess you should have thought about that before you destroyed the environment, so enjoy.

no, you are completely incorrect. the landscape of england (and ireland in the pic), has been shaped by humans, the natural habitats, destroyed.

If I visit the local bush lands in the arvo I'll usually see wallabies too, maybe small grey kangaroos. Unfortunately only seen other marsupials like bilbies, bandicoots, quolls very rarely when camping.
Reptiles are nice daytime animals though. I like seeing water dragons and blue-tongues and the rare goanna or snek

I think there is a resurgence of anti-palestinianism because at this point in time Israel has not yet learned how to be multicultural.

Hamas is going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for Israel to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Hamas will be resented because of their leading role.
