British to segregate Squirrels.

category international | environment | other press author Wednesday November 09, 2005 15:39author by iosaf Report this post to the editors

(human interest article)

The red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is indiginous to europe its a hibernating, rodent creature that lives in trees, collects nuts, carries rabies and TB, and hibernates.
The Grey squirrel (Sciurus griseus) is indiginous to North America and was imported in the 19th century by english landowners to prettify their newly acquired scottish estates.
The Grey squirrel is pretty much the same as the Red squirrel, but its hibernation period is shorter.
thus when it wakes up hungry in january its fine little nose can hunt out the stores of nuts that its nieghbouring red squirrels have stashed. The result is famine for the red squirrels who have progressively died out since the introduction of the Grey to Britain (and thanks to the channel tunnel Europe).

But now the British want to fight back. a New £1 million scheme will set up exclusion zones around 16 of the red's last outposts in Northumberland, Cumbria, North Yorkshire and Merseyside in northern England.

"Greys that enter the three-mile exclusion zone around the core reserves, in some of the North's largest blocks of conifer forestry, face extermination by trapping or shooting."

This is all the work of "Red Alert" who are prepared to bludgeon the Greys. You can contact them and learn now to keep your area free of Grey squirrels. Because sadly some have been sited in Northern ireland.

The England Squirrel Forum (ESF) has responsibility for co-ordinating the delivery of those parts of the Red Squirrel SAP that relate to England. This involves inter-related aspects of grey squirrel management and control for red squirrel conservation, but the forum also considers more general grey squirrel issues, such as environmental impacts and damage control. The ESF is made up of representatives from conservation and woodland owner and management organisations and is chaired by Forestry Commission England. The following organisations are currently represented on the England Squirrel Forum:

I must admit the thought has been troubling me all day, one of my earliest memories is of a green and pleasant meadow which ran down to a river and was framed on both banks by little copses, and in the distance a round tower the only clue which pleasant land i had been lucky enough to be born into.
& on every branch of every tree (willows in the main) of those little copses was found a happy squirrel.

a RED squirrel. a 100% gaeilgoir iara rua.

So I decided to investigate the "irish" dimension. You "the human interest" reader, will no doubt be as delighted as i was to learn that there is a "irish wiki" page on the iara rua. http://www.wiki.ie/wiki/Red_Squirrel but when I went to the gaeilge wiki http://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Príomhleathanach and typed in iara this is what I got :-
Níl aon leathanach ann leis an teideal áirithe seo air.

Quite appaling. Not a word. Is the fate of the irish squirrel a matter for the brits alone? For make no mistake the grey squirrel have been having a go at our broad leaf forests for years. And probably have eaten cuchulain's nuts and crunchy muesli by now to boot.

obviously with this in mind, great progress on inter-state relations was made on April 22, 2005 when the first all-ireland meeting of red squirrel lovers was held at UCG, you can read the results of this historic conference here

Now do take note that that is the British governments website, I don't know which FF/PD minister is responsible for this, but I'll be going through the phone book. & I'll update every saturday afternoon.

obituary for John Fowles, the author " The French Lieutenant's Woman" he died november 5, but they got their record together to eulogise -

"A solitary man who shunned both the London literati and the society of his neighbours at Lyme Regis, Fowles was concerned, above all, with the existential freedom of the individual, with his scope for choice and the energy with which he wrestled with the mysteries of existence."

They don't like hoodies. Or squirrels much either.
Or Irish people, or Mr Blair for that matter. But never forget that the Telegraph does such apt obituaries and "human interest" articles because they like
killing people.

Each uachtaran of Eire, or president of Ireland gets upon accepting office, a house, a car, a small domestic service, an aide de camp, access to the official state jet (complete with microwave at huge additional installation cost [almost a scandal - go into another time]) a packed schedule, and stationary.

On the stationary is seen the coat of arms for the current president. Her Excellency, Mary Mc Aleese, instructed the state's herald to depict two squirrels on her arms. One red and One grey. Their inclusion was meant to symbolise the two traditions of Ireland living in harmony and peace together and were the usual heraldic pun on her excellency's birth in the Northern Ireland statelet.

Thus, I would argue that these british segregationists are cocking a snook at our first lady, and I for one won't let the bounders winkle out of it.

Red & Grey squirrels together is a legitimate and honourable Irish Symbol and national aspiration.
I will thus include her excellency is my campaign letters :-)
