In some regions, individual male lynx have been known to take up to seven sheep each month. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0079261#pone-0079261-t002 Also most predators, particularly feline and canine, surplus/thrill kill.

scothunter 12,609 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Cant understand why some folk want them released. Notice its always big cats, or wolves or some other animal that's ultimately gonna create a problem. Never hear them banging on about introducing a tree or a plant or the many insects that are no longer here.quite happy with the wild animals we have no need to go messing around with it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,798 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Just a little sad update on this story before it goes off air, but it turns out Lilith was,nt the only Lynx to die at this mickey mouse zoo, this story is from staff at the zoo, apparently they had five Lynx in a pen together there was a large tree growing over the enclosure which they had been advised to cut back but ignored, the Lynx were fighting so much that a zoo keeper actually strangled Lilith,s brother to death with a dog noose which was when she chipped off up the tree and away, her absence was not noticed for a day or two and they don't really know when she went exactly, there is lots of other shit coming out about the place and there is an online petition to have the animals rehoused and the place shut down, if anyone can add the link please do and if anyone see,s it please sign it thanks 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
