Look I really don't know what your problem is. The lad asked for some info I offered my opinion on the matter. Ace seems to be happy with what I offered and nobody has a problem bar yourself.
I have no problem with anybody having different opinions to myself if we could debate it sensibly. If you want to talk some more to me about it then by all means pm me.

Thread is really derailed enough so would be best to get back on topic.

Both non-native to da country. Both common.
Pheasant fodder through the woods and hedgerows for invertebrates, seeds and seedlings and compete with native birds and other wildlife.
Grey squireels out compete with red lads and ate bird eggs/nestling.
Both damaging

How long would pheasants survive if they were not reared in MASSIVE numbers every year by gunclubs etc. Have you any idea how much vermin is shot every year to try and protect Pheasants and help increase their numbers and you compare them to a grey squirrel (Vermin)
So what if they are not non native-show me someone that wants rid of them.
