Cantankerous Fall frontman Mark E Smith is not a fan of things that get in his way, especially if they're doing things like eating his garden fence. Which is why, he told a writer for
Uncut, that he had killed a couple of red squirrels to death in the weeks leading up to his interview with the magazine, because they'd been noshing on his fence and attracting rats to his house. Smith's interview was read by a staffer at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and as it turns out, the amateur pest control he's been engaging in is a crime under the UK's Wildlife and Countryside Act, and punishable by things like a fine of £20,000 or six months in the pokey!
