As an animal lover and vegetarian, I was shocked and disgusted that councillor Terence Gandy wants to cull the grey squirrel, I think it’s cruel and inhumane.

Anyone who wants to cull any animal is wrong, it’s a very, very cruel act indeed.

So, people are complaining about them getting into their houses and chewing through cables – well, I’m sorry, but don’t leave your windows open wide enough for a Squirrel.

At the moment MP’s are behaving like Pests should we cull them as well?
