Gas the moles

I know its an insane time of the morning to be blogging - but there you go. Just read a report about moles being gassed at a Wells School because the molehills were affecting the playground. No doubt someone is worried about being sued when a child trips over a mound of earth.

THIS IS INSANE

I know moles can be destructive little buggers when they get in your garden but they are an important part of the biodiversity of our towns and gardens and we should learn to live with them not gas them. Rake over the mole hills, use the wonderful soft earth they produce to put back onto flower beds.

Next we'll be killing badgers because we're worried about TB - Oh, I forgot, we already do that.

What ever happened to Stewardship of God's creation.

I'm off to trash a few compost heaps in the hope of finding a hedgehog to drown - I'm concerned the spines might do something pointy.
