Deker 3,478 Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I think any suggestion of re-introducing the Lynx to control deer numbers is stretching things a bit too far. We live in a very different country to when Lynx last walked these shores. There WILL be instances where they take pets/livestock and even children and adults, then some tree hugger will simply blame the people and say the Lynx was provoked! I can already see local groups being formed to go and deal with the rogue (don't know why its turned, they are normally docile) Lynx terrorizing an area! It will only take one incident then the media will start calling for them to be wiped out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you may be working for the nfu with some of the claims your trying to make mate, this is a newspaper article almost written for you, if they never had gps fitted you would never know they are here, it's a small very secretive woodland cat not a lion, the motives and reasons given for the re introductions may be a little rose tinted but one thing that won't happen, is the uk turning into a scene from a horror movie, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any re-introduction WILL cause issues of some sort, they will not simply hide in the undergrowth and do nothing, anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.

Big cat sightings are pretty common, and/or unexplained incidents. I suspect there are unreported escapees and/or the occasional deliberate release (and I'm not just talking cats, pretty much any pet). Just the same you need breeding pairs for anything viable and that's where things can come unstuck. Who knows? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
