London Telegraph sez "Kill That Squirrel !"
Boris adds "and Moose, too!" In a tree-lined street in south-west London, Paul Richardson, a university-educated banker, grips an air pistol in his right hand and takes aim from a rear first-floor window of his elegant Edwardian house. The pellet fizzes across his garden towards the target, 10 yards away: a grey squirrel ripping open a black bin bag and foraging for food. It misses, but the alarmed squirrel flees across the lawn and up a tree to safety. The softly spoken Mr Richardson, aged 42, is an unlikely killer. He took up arms earlier this year because, he says, the squirrels are "out of control". He has killed "a fair few", he admits, but declines to say exactly how many. Posted by: mrp 2007-11-11 |
