Gray squirrel in Britain "should be killed"

The government is investigating how gray squirrel numbers are managed in England and assess whether additional needs to be done to control the number.

The population of the gray squirrel has skyrocketed in the last 100 years.

Originally introduced to America, now officially classified as harmful in the UK and for a long time have been blamed for the decline of the local squirrels.
