No. But that has never stopped man doing things before. Not so long ago the red squirrel was as common as the grey is today. So man decided that they were ‘a pest’ and slaughtered, sorry ‘culled’, them all. They even put a bounty on each red killed! I say just leave them alone and let nature decide.
