Red Squirrels

I now hear that there is going to be a Grey Squirrel cull in the UK in order to improve the chances of survival of the Red Squirrel. Apparently the Grey is more aggressive and successful and carries a deadly squirrel-pox, lethal only to the Red. The justification for the cull is that the Grey is an immigrant species, alien to the British Isles, having arrived from America in the 1870s. The cull is clearly evil rascism; a vile campaign of murder against immigrants because of the colour of their fur and reports of disease. Ethnic cleansing. Poor Greys, who will stick up for them ?
