Just popped up on local facebook page,and their idiots saying how lovely,and they should be here not us ,it's enough to make me puke!

I can't even be bothered to argue,it would be nice to see her be first victim to a hungry or pissed off wolf,fecking idiots.

I liked this comment;

 

The rewilders talk nicely about biodiversity and ecosystems, but what gives the game away is how they always seem to want to reintroduce big, dramatic beasties. Where’s the campaign to bring back the blue stag beetle or the brine shrimp, both absent from our shores since the 19th century? Rewilding isn’t about restoring the glory of nature. It’s about people thinking the nature we have isn’t interesting enough and needs to be sexed up.

As much as I look to places like Alaska and envy the large predators they have, 21st century overcrowded Britain ain't the place for them.

 

Another example of people jumping on their environmentalist high horse claiming to be naturalists and supporting nature, but in actual fact only really give a shit about what they want nature to look like.

 

And I'm not sure there would be such a deer problem if bambi wasn't put on a fecking pedestal and stalking was made more accessible to folks.

It's fine for pack of wolves to run down and rip apart a deer eating it half alive ,as that's nature,but one or two lurchers bringing one down for owner to eat is cruel and barbaric,lol

The average pack of wolves arent going to expend valuable energy in this country running around after deer,they are going to head straight for the nearest farm and create havoc on the sheep,cows,dogs and little girls dressed in red capes Have you seen the size of the f*ckers

Or if it was legal to take them without a prohibitively expensive FAC and/or guide. If only there was a way for the average man to hunt deer with nothing more than the landowners permission. Or even Crown land being open end to hunting by the public.

Dog men won't bring the deer population under control mate nationally, perhaps localised populations. I'd argue for that to be legalised under a completely different banner, same as bow hunting. If you can afford to build a kennel and feed/school a dog or three for a year or two then I'm sure you can afford a stalking setup. It's not the cost that's the problem.

Didn't read the link buti agree this isn't the place for wolfs but I'd like to see lynx introduced to Britain

What is it about these 'conservationists' obsessions with apex predators and 'extinct' mammals. Why not put effort into what animals we have left. The red kite introduction is the worst thing that could have ever happened for native ground nesting birds, particularly in the North of England. mark my words, the truth will come out but maybe not before the peewit and the curlew and the grey partridge have been predated into extinction. the survival rate of these chicks in red kite country must be less than 10%, in a matter of years there's going to be some major major decline in such birds. That's MHO. JD

I disagree about the cost. I cost me £300 for the safe, £300 for DSC1, £50 for the FAC, £1100 for the rifle (including sights and mod) and £1800 for DSC2. I could feed a dog for a lot less than that.

 

Also, dogs can be used where it is not safe/practical to use a rifle.

 

All it needs for a national population to be controlled is for a lot of people to do it locally, in various different locales.

 

I agree that bow hunting should be legalised as well.

Agree,why not save the hedgehog or garden birds instead of introducing big mammals,

Their extinct for a reason ,they ate livestock and were fecking dangerous,lol
