Monty Don says wolves should be reintroduced to Britain as deer are destroying our woodland

[M-J-G]

We need some thing to keep public out of the countryside and to kill wandering dogs.

Bears would probably be better

Who doesnt love a bear?

Warwickshire’s finest

Monty Don can sod off. I happen to like seeing bambi and her mates running across my farm.

truly majestic creatures.

they don’t taste bad either

and spread TB as well!

Crap price for the venison carcases this year... This is discouraging the riflemen bigtime!

here in south west Lincolnshire we have thousands of deer a pack of wolves would soon start eating the local sheep and cattle as they would be easier prey
the local woods would soon be dog walker free if there were wolves resident

fallow red muntjacs and roe deer in abundance have seen all 4 species in the space of half an hour in one wood

if they were released here I would have to carry a rifle when out field walking I could not run faster than the Wolf !!!

TFF may get worked up about what they say/write but I doubt if many other people do.

I can hardly see "We need to get wolves to reduce the deer population" being a hot topic at the water cooler/zoom meeting this week.

All these deer making work for the fencer, tree planting season is deer fencing season

His brother has a small holding and a small sheep flock in the next village. His wife goes absolutely spare about anything anywhere near her pedigree ewes.
She had someone’s dog shot a few years ago so I’m pretty sure a wolf would receive the same fate!

What deer do you have up your neck of the woods @nick... Its virtually all munty and Chinese here.

spread from deer is minimul compared to a badger with or without a cold!

It was bad enough working on ground that had wild boar in the woods bordering the fields especially in the dark and seeing flashes of eyes in the unfenced woods when drilling. That led to some pretty swift drill filling! I'm buggered if I'd want to have a pack of curious wolves around.

Monty has always struck as one of those fellas that over indulged in recreational substances in his youth, having long lasting effects on his thought processing.
Am I alone in thinking that?

You mean he started out with hydroponics in his bedroom?

Monty Don has an opinion on most things . I used to sit in the 'planning committee' on the council. Any application within 10 miles of his place and he would be objecting .

There’s one in every village now.

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Just one?

These folks all neglect to factor in one massive problem with introducing apex predators. People. Lots of them, particularly in England.

I think that’s the point, they don’t want people as part of the equation at all and they’d rather keep the countryside as some weird pseudo-wilderness theme park where only people who “understand” it can live (them).
