I wonder if the Scottish highland farmers will be less keen about 'restoring the balance of nature and preserving Scotland's heritage' after the wolves have become established.
And while we’re at it, bring the snakes back to Ireland as well.
Let’s re-introduce Yellow Fever and Malaria to the civilized world while we’re at it. After all, those are animals, too!......
I wish someone would introduce some predators into Phoenix. Pigeons have absolutely taken over in some areas.
in places they were regarded as an asset because they provided sport and meat to the hunting sector.
I thought the Brits hated hunting, hence the outlawing of foxhunting ?
That will keep the population of wild chickens under control.
When are the idiot Frogs going to buy some Llamas? 1 neutered male llama can guard about 300 sheep from canine predators. Lamb loss falls to almost zero. Since they don’t have bears or mountain lions in France, they should be safe.
Wolves! Wolves?
what are they thinking? Do they even have any large prey species left for the wolves to prey on? I thought even large deer were gone from GB!
Why don’t they think small and bring back some european wildcats and maybe some kind of antelope IF that works out then move up to lynx and maybe some kind of european elk. But a pack type large carnivore in a place like GB? Jeeze, that’s just stupid.
“Studies by Aberdeen University had identified two areas in Scotland which would provide suitable habitat for lynx. It had been estimated that current deer populations could support 400 lynx in the Highlands and 50 in the southern Uplands.”
Lynx don’t eat deer. They weigh about 35 lbs. is this the same animal? Cougars eat deer. Lynx eat birds and rabbits, mice, chipmunks and squirrels.
How has the UK managed to survive without these animals? I thought once an animal was hunted to extinction, everything exploded...or something?
They were a potential threat to people and dogs and caused damage to crops and through rooting to wild flowers, particularly bluebells, and trees.
[clear throat]...
If the Brits want to get rid of them... bring in the Montagnards for food's sake... SouthEast Asians will pay anyone for their meat.
What Would Jamal Do?
Freakout and Declare Fatwa!
