Kind of what I was meaning reallyThe obvious next step after wolves is to reintroduce humans to control them……oh…….er………hang on a minute…..

That's what I think will happen too.I'm gonna make a prediction here...lynx will magically appear just like beavers did after 'accidental release' and no-one who has a licence for keeping them will be investigated or prosecuted. Then they will be afforded full protection with no redress for losses of livestock or amenity of land affected by said accidents.
Well for sure the eedjits in power in Scotland will think that free roaming Lynx is a wonderful thing....I'm gonna make a prediction here...lynx will magically appear just like beavers did after 'accidental release' and no-one who has a licence for keeping them will be investigated or prosecuted. Then they will be afforded full protection with no redress for losses of livestock or amenity of land affected by said accidents.
do you think livestock farmers might like the idea more if proper efforts were pre-emptively made to prevent the loss of livestock? e.g., reinforced fencing or guard-dogs etc
My comment wasn’t aimed at you, soz for any confusion.I didn't know I was destroying the lives of animals and people. Sorry
Dartmoor. 1 lynx escaped and was recaptured after killing a pile of lambs on a farm.Didn't the "tame" Lynx that escaped from it's cage in mid Wales kill several sheep before it was dispatched??
Eedjits!!Dartmoor. 1 lynx escaped and was recaptured after killing a pile of lambs on a farm.
1 lynx. And they try to tell us with a straight face that they won’t take livestock.
If they were my lambs it bloody would have been!!!!Eedjits!!
I am astonished the Dartmoor animal was not shot...
Think you will find he is 1 of them pushing the policy.So you know Lynx are dangerous, You know something has to die so the Lynx can survive. You know that currently those animals are not being killed and ripped apart. You know that livestock, pets, children and adults will be at risk.
How sick does someone have to be to create the deaths of multiple animals, whilst at the same time putting humans, pets, livestock and children at risk ?
The people involved are unable to appreciate others opinions.
In this case the lives of animals, livestock & pets - in other words they are Psychopaths. Shouldn't you be interviewing the people coming up with this policy and trying to find out why their brains do not work correctly ?
Hi David,Hi,
My name is David and I am a student at Scotland's Rural College doing dissertation research on the potential reintroduction of the lynx. I'm specifically focusing on farming opinions towards the reintroduction, and what makes a fair reintroduction. If you have a minute, I would very much appreciate any responses to my survey - it takes no longer than 10 minutes:

This survey is not affiliated with any pre-existing government, or private lynx research - it is purely for academic purposes. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected]
Many thanks,
David
Are you honestly saying that I should farm in a Safari Park, with 10' fences around all my fields? 150 acres here, and 12km of fencing by the way, even pig netting with two barbs would cost £96 000 to replace, what on earth would Lynx proof fencing cost? And who would pay? Far better to keep Lynx in Safari parks I think.do you think livestock farmers might like the idea more if proper efforts were pre-emptively made to prevent the loss of livestock? e.g., reinforced fencing or guard-dogs etc
Had a vet here from Romania, and I chatted to him about livestock guarding dogs and Wolves during the TB test, and he said Wolves kill the guardian dogs, the dogs are no match for a Wolf.I like the idea of livestock guarding dogs, locals with dogs that are not likely to be welcomed by the stock guarding dogs maybe not so much.
These guards kill wolves so I expect lynx and labradoodles would be a piece of cake.

hopefully, we will never need to find out!@Ffermer Bach I think there are two types, the big woolly ones folk have in this country (Carpathian Shepherds???) and the bigger devils they have in Turkey and up into Russia. Certainly the Facebook page used to post pictures of dead wolves and blooded dogs till Fb started putting advisory notices over the pictures.
Rockall?David, I suspect that you will few, if any, livestock keepers anywhere, who would consider the introduction (it is not a re-introduction!) of a top line predator to be sensible or well considered. Keep any release of any such animals on Scottish island, not in the wider landscape.
