Sadly, in my case, its unlikely to be diplomatic immunity

Looking this good why would you need immunity,

Whilst it might be good in that some reds may be developing immunity from the pox, the greys will still push them out by eating all the food.

What do greys taste like? I'll tell all my Chinese friends and relatives they're prestigious endangered delicacies and they'll all be eaten by Christmas.

To be honest... They're not bad eating. City skwerls taste better than woodland ones in my opinion as their diet is more varied and they eat less acorns etc which means less tannin.

Young uns are the tastiest but you'll need a couple to fill you up
