SQUIRREL MORALITY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?


[+] serious ballot by winston
created Wed Feb 14, 07
In Britain the european red squirrel is endangered, as it cannot compete with the larger, more adaptable north american gray squirrel. The only way to keep the red squirrel population up is to lower the gray squirrel's population.

So, is it right to cull one species in order to maintain the survival of another?

I just watched a show about this recently. There is apparently only one isolated woodland that maintains a high density red squirrel population still. The same thing has happened here in America too though. I very rarely see red or fox squirrels. Unfortunately, I don't think culling would do the trick. You'd have to absolutely eradicate the gray squirrels in a given area to give the reds a fighting chance. Sounds like a ballot for Jyl!

I prefer endangered species that can survive on their own.

What skylab said.

I think it's wrong to get in their way. What's happening is nature at work.

it is nature at work but the invasive species was brought there from oceans away by humans. The same thing had happened with other species of plants and bugs when things were brought to America from other countries.
We should still consider everything we do "natural" though I guess, we are still animals.

No, just let nature take it's course...i do feel bad for the little red squirrels but killing off other squirrels is inhumane.

Yeah, good point about them being foreign and invasive. We have a huge problem here with feral domesticated and imported pigs. So big of a problem that the local game wardens have asked landowners to shoot them on site if able. They're dangerous to both humans and livestock, cause millions of damage every year, and they're doing huge amounts of damage to local forests.
