Bloody good shooting if crops are a secondary sport!!!
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 half a chance

Been introduced in the Netherlands in several places years ago. Seems to be fine. Keep in mind that the European bison and American bison are different species.

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?
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

Going to be fenced in but meeting one of these would hurry up your dog walk.

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.
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?
Why have the Dutch decided to introduce them? They have very little woodland and more than enough ruminants.
