British politicians were urged to eat North American grey squirrels as part of a radical plan to save the indigenous red variety, which has been forced to the brink of extinction.
Lord Richard Inglewood, the patron of conservation group Red Alert North-West, said he wanted to invite government agriculture ministers to dinner with grey squirrel on the menu.
He said there was little difference between eating squirrels and the entirely loveable\ other creatures that end up on the dinner plate.
""I must confess that I have never actually eaten a grey squirrel...but I am prepared to give it a go,"" he said.
