Oh boy, I love the way this thread is going. Freedom of speach is in the balance. It's great to see that we can write, within reason, our experiances and thoughts and then be criticised by the sensative members. However I think the use of the smilies would help to lessen the upsetting nature of the words we write
I wonder Pat weather what you would do if you were in a situation of survival and you only had a rotting carcase to keep you alive. I cannot see you sitting there slowly dying and not eat that carcase. You would have to be suicidal not to do so.
If you and I Pat were lost at sea in an open boat, or survived a plain crash high on a mountain, like those people did in the Andies, and you died then I would, without hesitation slice off a steak from your rump to survive.
To get back to the Squirrel question, and quite frankly I think we have exhausted the subject, I think we just have to find a way to control the population. How about every house setting a humane trap in their garden and when a Squirrel is caught, a specialist, in pay by the council comes and collects it.
