Add Magpies and Crows to the list.
Used to feed a Robin one foot away from my hand and would take mealworms back to her nest to feed her chicks. She used to wait for me and as soon as I was in the back garden would either hear the song or would appear next to me.
One morning days from the chicks leaving the nest a magpie had demolished the nest........Squirrels do the same.

So do Robins
 
I saw a man throwing sticks at a grey squirrel this morning and I was going to throw sticks at him but squirrels are as fast as tree dwelling bushy tailed rodents and his aim was poor.

I can't see too much harm if they're not in your loft or eating red squirrels.

A bit of a c*nt's trick to hurt any small animal for no real reason, it'll be children next that these type of people harm.
 
Rats with fluffy tails, kill the buggas. In the '60s you used to get paid for killing them, I wonder when that stopped.

While that's very sad it is just nature in action. A gadge with a rifle however is just man being a tw@.
 
Why shoot them when you could trap them and watch them die slow painful deaths the little bastards.

Isn't a clean kill much more difficult with a bow and therefore the chance of the animal surviving (for a while) with an injury consequently more likely?

Not if you are a good shot and only shoot when you know you can bring the animal down.
