Rumour has it that the herd is on one of the islands up there, I may be wrong though.
Bison to be reintroduced to Kent woodland
- Thread starter Bald Rick
- Start date
In case you've missed it, the rewilding lobby have slowly been pushing their tentacles into both Westminster, and several mainland euro/Scandinavian countries parliaments.
As of now, there are wolves roaming most EU countries,
the German sheep farmers are being asked to keep their flocks within high electric fences (shoot a wolf, go to jail),
There's bears coming back into the alps, with one currently attacking people in the South Tyrol.
Huge tracts of historic mountain grazing -really historic, with centuries of reference and traditions- in Norway have now been abandoned, due to protected predators.
(Really really really, a whole grazing culture, very very similar to our fell and hill flocks, gone....lost in 2 decades).
The Spanish are facing the same.
.......and they want to do the same here.
This bison project is fine in it's own right, apart from issues being discussed above.
But it is associated with people who're attacking me and mine. And I won't go without a fight I'm afraid.
I thought it was on a mainland estate.
Could be your thinking of the feral cows on Swona?... and by golly they're effing beautiful.

The Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 requires those keeping Bison to hold a licence. A tad more dangerous than domestic cattle. They could have achieved the same effect using Longhorn cattle for forestry management as I understand happens in Epping Forest. They will need a bit more than a few gates and some baler twine for their Tb testing handling system.

I tell you what, if they're there in two years time, I'll do come down and bolus/pd them. What about that?

Little biodiversity in this woodland now. It used to be beautiful in spring with buttercups.

Yep, used to be a carpet of bluebells in it, not so much now
Absolutely they can and will.
The wild herds here have TB. Think there’s rules for how close cattle can be grazed to the parks and those within a certain distance have to do regular testing. Same as those around infected deer and elk populations.

This the problem. They won't stop until bears, wolves and small pox are back.
crazy, crazy,? waste of what is public money? common sense gos the more so called educated you are ? beavers, sea eagles, otters what next? mean while the relentless building on of thousands of acres of farmland goes on year after year? But this has no impact on the environment so the so called experts? build a countrypark for the people to roam make a mess walk their dogs?

More people are attacked by Cattle than Bison, Bison don't have generations of inbreeding.
Hopefully!
There are multiple issues with the environment, from multiple sectors ranging from copy-paste housing estates in the middle of nowhere to environment destruction, calling me scum because I support controlled environmental reconstruction isn't helpful imo.
Having a carpet of mostly bluebells also isn't biodiversity.

No but at least they give something else a chance for the the other 10 months of the year.

Maybe that's because there is more chance of people coming into contact with cattle than bison.
I know common sense isn't a strong point for you rewilders, but at least try and make an effort.
If you support Monbiots vision, where I'm to be removed from my cultural employment and home....that's exactly what I think of you.
I have issues about people trying to impose their twisted theories on others...it was tried extensively 80-90 years ago by an Austrian and some Germans.
We've got names for people who act like that.
Just so we're clear.
What are you doing on this forum?
Picking arguments i presume.
Best go somewhere where you're welcome.
Lol I like how you like to throw tags on people. Somehow supporting controlled conservation is bad
Lol, rebuilding the ecosystem of the UK is bad apparently lol
