Grey Squirrels Unhappy At Rise In Grey Squirrel Meat Consumption

The Guardian reports that the meat of hunted Grey Squirrels is rising rapidly in popularity.Killing the rodent for food is seen as both ethical and good for the environment, as reducing Grey Squirrel numbers helps their embattled Red Squirrel cousins.

Grey Squirrels are reputedly less than pleased with these developments, and point out that they have tufty tails and are able to perform a variety of endearing behaviours. Red Squirrel sources are also ambivalent. "If humans develop a taste for squirrel-meat", commented a well-respected Red Squirrel, "then none of us will be safe".
