According to this brief article, which indicates squirrels in England can be just as invasive as rats in Australia:
Woods says that more and more people are buying traps from him. "However, it's illegal to re-release squirrels into the wild. So if you use a live trap, you need to kill the squirrel yourself and the only legal ways of doing that are shooting it with an air rifle, or putting it in a sack and hitting it on the head."What's wrong with release? Although grey squirrels are an invasive species there, I thought scientists now thought they weren't causing much harm.
And I see that pro-grey squirrel activists now have their own website. How nice.
