30-6 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I've never talked to any farmer who would like to totally eradicate rabbits or foxes or squirrels, or even pigeons, as the're part of the countryside. But moles and rats they detest, always good PR to tell them a mole or rat has met its demise. . When my boys were younger (before they discovered the opposite sex), we used to spend hours standing over mole hills, with special signals when the hills moved, so the one with the gun could take position.

So farmers want to keep grey squirrels do they? Of course they don't want to wipe out animals such as rabbits, foxes, etc. But grey squirrels are a non native invasive species and they do immense damage to our wildlife, and I have never met any farmer who doesn't want them totally eradicated.
