England's at it again, at least the squirrels are!


In a desperate attempt to save the red squirrels in England, forestry officials will target its most deadly enemy--the grey squirrel, which carries a form of virus deadly to the red squirrel. Red squirrels have become so rare they haven't been seen in certain English forests for over two years, and squirrely scientists are determined to do something about it.

While the Church of England may well protest, they plan to introduce squirrel contraception that targets the grey squirrels. Is this a squirrel form of the pill? Perhaps a tiny condom? Maybe abstinence lectures with mandatory attendance, which have done so well in America.

The article didn't say. I personal vote for pills, because the idea of tiny squirrel condoms disgarded throughout the forest, well, yuck.
