A Budgens grocery store in Crouch End, North London is currently selling squirrel meat for £3 each and campaigners claim it is committing ‘wildlife massacre’.
Vegetarians International Voice for Animals (Viva) says Budgens are supporting a ‘barbaric and needles cull’ of grey squirrels by allowing the independently-owned Budgens branch to sell the meat.
Viva’s founder Juliet Gellatley said: ‘Culls’ of thousands of grey squirrels by so-called conservation groups to boost populations of red squirrels are irrational, inhumane and destined to fail, so it is very sad that Budgens are allowing profit to be made from wildlife massacre.’
