It’s only a matter of time before they start taking people, particularly small ones, which will make for the obvious reaction. I wonder if the spokesman for Wolf Switzerland will be on hand to describe that as a young wolf’s curiosity?
The wolves will run out of as easy prey as their numbers increase, and as sheep get harder to get hold of, either by housing or shepherds packing up. Hungry wolves will move onto the next easiest prey.

Precisely. They need to be creatures of the wilderness where they have plenty of wild prey to hunt.

The trouble being, those who would reintroduce Wolves believe that UK farmland - all 85% of the UK, should be wilderness.

Maybe release in Scotland is not such a bad thing then.It’s only a matter of time before they start taking people, particularly small ones, which will make for the obvious reaction. I wonder if the spokesman for Wolf Switzerland will be on hand to describe that as a young wolf’s curiosity?

We have urban foxes. I would release Wolves in Pimlico. Urban Wolves sounds great to me.

So long as they stay there and don't stray into Whitehall. Can't have them disturbing the Black Rats when they are introduced.
They would keep those Porridge*og* on their toesMaybe release in Scotland is not such a bad thing then.

The problem is, in a country our size with getting on for 70million people, there is no wilderness and either people or pooches would sonn be Mr Wolf's dinner.........on second thoughts, maybe this is not such a bad idea!!!

It will be an easy way to get the hills abandoned to rewilding and tree planting.
Troassachs and watch them filter into Glasgow chasing the Maccy D diet like the foxes??Maybe release in Scotland is not such a bad thing then.

Wolves in Drumchapel would be interesting. There's a fair bit of wildlife there already.
2 or 4 legged wildlife....?
Actuall;y, I am having a ponder... There seems to have been a move to release Munties in Scotland from down here in England, maybe repay the kindness, with some Muntjac control predators.Maybe release in Scotland is not such a bad thing then.

Maybe Emma and Iwan (this farming life) did the right thing moving to an Island!

Predators often become specialists. Could the Scottish wolves be pre-trained the specialise in certain types of 'small things'?
