Does the Invasion of Black Squirrels in the UK concern you??

[Clodhopper]

Maybe they will teach them reds a thing or two about survival.

Squirrambo? Someone must have a pic they can post!

Although my thread was an experiment... No, black squirrels are not a hoax. I myself have seen the buggers in the South Glou countryside walking the dogs.

I think It's rascism toward Black squirrels don't you? Next we will have a politician telling us that they are coming over here taking all our jobs and getting free housing.

I think they are cute.

Anything with legs and fur is OK by me but I have detered the Grey Squirrels this year due to Birds nests in my garden.

Last night, after the poll of 'Doe's mass Immigration concern you?', Cloddhopper and Bryn said that the only reason the poll had 20 votes for yes, mass Immigration doe's concern me and only 6 votes for No, mass Immigration doe's not concern me, was down to the fact that I had spent my life in sales and was so good at it that I could sway opinion and voting by the way I loaded the question. I argued this was nonsense due to members having their own minds and If I was that good, I'd be earning a fortune as a Spin Doctor.
To prove my point, I started the squirrel thread and using my sales tactics, deliberately used the word 'Invasion' to Imply that the country was over-run with them and It should be some-thing of concern. Also, well know tactics of the Daily Mail. It seems I have been proved correct in this Instance as no-one has voted, Yes, black squirrels do concern me.... There-fore... Sorry Bryn and Clodhopper... Your arguement for the Immigration Poll has collapsed.

Most people probably thought it was a hoax. Being a simpler trusting soul it never occurred to me it might be an oscarification-while I know you spout a lot of rubbish elsewhere you do seem genuinely interested in animals so i assumed it was something you knew about and I didn't ub=ntil farmer gile ssuggested otherwise. I didn't vote either-mind you i didn't vote in your other polls either.

They could have been Canadian squirrels, did they say "eh" alot?

I don't speak squirrel but it sounds like they are lecturing-whatever they say my dog hates them. Managed to kill one in the garden-I am peacefully working away and suddenly all hell lets loose and thirty seconds later there is a dead squirrel and a very pleased looking dog. He sits in the conservatory and waits until they come down to the ground before going after them but he's only ever caught one. They seem to stay away nowadays.

They're taking over the place and killing the indigenous population so my bet is they are american

If I talk rubbish then why do I agree with some of your posts?
Yes, even though I say It myself... as an animal rights campaigner, My knowledge of british wildlife is pretty hot. Don't even get me started on the depleting fish stocks due to the re-Introduction of Otters. Infact, I feel a poll coming on

My dogs kill rabbits given half the chance and I'm sure they would kill a squirrel if they got one. I could not chastise them, as Terriers, it's the natural thing to do although I don't like it.

These black Squirrells coming over here from America... Invading us for Scottish Oil with their gang culture and rap music.

What about the Invasion of black rabbits then?
