Petition Opposing the cull of British Grey Squirrels.

More details

Culling grey squirrels in the name of wildlife preservation of reds is cruel, unnecessary, counter-productive, and based on ignorant xenophobic prejudice and bad science.

We, the undersigned, oppose the ludicrous culling of a much loved species in the name of protecting another - and instead advocate the development of a squirrel pox vaccine and a reversal of the main cause of decline in the red squirrel population - deforestation.
