When one of my friends was at agricultural college, apparently local squirrels had become so emboldened by being fed by successive waves of students that they would come right into the windows and just stare at you, so he used to supplement his food supply by shooting them in the head with his webley air pistol, skinning and gutting them in the halls kitchen then stewing up the meat, a pattern of behaviour which lead to other, more fluffyness-enamoured students petitioning the college authorities to have him expelled.
Inlander:
You mean grey squirrels? Grey squirrels that are an introduced pest in the UK and have driven the endemic (and much cuter) red squirrel to local extinction in most of the country?
God people are dumb.
Nodaisho:
What are the laws on killing squirrels in the UK? I think here you need a small game license. And in my town, technically you aren't legally allowed to fire an air rifle in city limits. You could get away with it pretty easily, since nobody's going to notice an air rifle shot, but legally you aren't supposed to do it.

I'm sensing a bit of a ressurgence actually. As well as a bit more availability in indy butchers, it's been cropping up on pub menus, especially in the huge gastro-pub region of the Cotswolds. With a near zero livestock cost I would imagine it's going to be an attractive option in the current climate.
I hope that it continues because it's quite a bit of an overlooked meat and by reintroducing it to our national diet, it will reduce our impact on local and global environment management.
