Bloody good shooting if crops are a secondary sport!!!So bison were once native to UK so can be once again.
Anyone heard of a film called Jurassic Pork about reintroduced prehistoric wild boar?
It doesn't end well!
Bison were introduced to Dorset and Wiltshire by a Heereditary Peer about 25 yrs ago... they are perfectly harmless cattle
Thank god livestock are back in fashion not just beavers and badgers!!Have them at Rhug Estate near Corwen.
Personally, no cattle are “perfectly harmless” …. Not even my Jersey cows who love nothing better than trying to de-bag you given have a chance

Beavers have always been an interest to me.Thank god livestock are back in fashion not just beavers and badgers!!

what a w4nker!I fully support controlled rewilding of the UK, the thing is most of these ancient British species lived in *forests* zoom in to pretty much any part of the UK randomly and you'll see fields, Limited rewilding is happening in Scotland.
I would support greater investment into it - in terms of Biodiversity we're closer to easter island than what many people realise.
imo w4nker!That's the problem with any large scale reintroduction, nimby farmers shooting them. ??
Future generations do deserve to live in an island that hasn't turned into easter island ecologically imo
Now he has a notification he'll be backwhat a w4nker!
No, beaver.Why? Do you like gnawing wood?
The most notable difference is that the European Bison are browsers and the American are grazers. The European are significantly more difficult o handle and tame.. So they are being introduced in order to browse young trees and sapplings and scare or kill unsuspecting humans. Both are desirable traits and will save the world from climate change and over population.European Bison vs American Bison: 4 Key Differences Explained
There are two species of bison - European and American - and they are incredibly similar to each other. But what are the differences?a-z-animals.com

Old trees only develop from young trees. Healthy trees are the ones that capture the carbon (carbon dioxide). The feeding habit of the European bison is described as browsing. This is also the normal feeding habit of most deer species. Why bison instead of deer other than some idiot`s desire to introduce a dangerous animal?"they fell trees by rubbing against them"

Ok - i'm going to assume that the trees which get cut down by this process will either be young trees, not being strong enough to resist
a large animal which has got an itch on it's arse. Or an older tree, at the end of it's life, which would have been felled by the next, half decent
storm. And anyway - what is more natural than a storm helping trees to be part of the carbon cycle.
