Because the law is an ';Alpha Sierra Sierra'; sorry but I'm not allowed to put the word in.It is illegal to release a grey squirrel, why is OK to release a rat?
The grey squirrel is resonsible for the sharp decline of the indigenous red squirrel in the UK. So much so that the red squirrel is on the endangered list.
'Fancy' rats (ones you can purchase in a pet shop) are breed specifically to be pets. It is unlikely that a pet rat would have any impact on the population of the wild (brown) rats living in the area.
Hope that helps with your query.It is illegal to release a grey squirrel, why is OK to release a rat?
de Beauvoir has the right of it-but don`t let him put you off killing rats. Too many do-gooders have no concept of the damage they do.(the rats that is!)
If it's a pet and you don't want it anymore can't you take it to a pet shop so they can sell it to someone who does?
i never heard of a grey squirrel. but dude rats and squirrel's are in the same family..varmints. and varmints are legal.
Grey Squirrels are carriers of a virus fatal to the Red Squirrels. If trapped they should be killed.
Why would you want to release a rat? Just kill it.
listen! a rat is a animal and doesnt deserve to be killed, they do these things to survive and so would you if you were a rat! this is the reason why its not illegal to let one go!!!. how would you liked to be killed for the way you live
Grey squirrel?! Is that a code name?!?!
The reason you are not allowed to release a grey squirrel is because they are not an indigenous (native) species in the UK and Ireland and they are slowly but surely displacing our native red squirrel whereas rats although vermin are a native species
