There's Too Many Of Them Here, And They Don't Belong!

But does that mean we should allow members of the public to take the law into their own hands. No, of course not, but it will happen anyway, if the government fails to act. 

I am of course not talking about illegal immigrants - they are well protected - but about invasive parakeets. Apparently, the London catapult yobs find them an easy target, and at least this spares our native wildlife.

A wildlife charity said 43 ring-necked parakeets were found in Priory Gardens in Orpington, south-east London, in just three weeks.

Dead, from likely catapult wielding youths. Well, saves them using native species for targets, I guess...  

The charity is now calling for tighter controls on the sale of catapults to under-18s and for wildlife crime to be given greater priority by police.

Of course they are. 

Gareth Bacon, the Conservative MP for Orpington, has previously called for catapult sales to be licensed.

Od course he has.
