does anyone else think putting him, a lynx, Brian may and a badger in a very small room would make great TV? :D

I fail to get my head around the fact these enviro -mentalists object to free shooting, but are all for nature at its most basic, unless of course the top of the chain like the fox starts to over spill into the towns and their lives.
It has bugged me all day this, wish I hadnt heard it.

I propose locking Brian May, Chris Packham, Bill Oddie and John Craven in a room with a Lynx, a Badger, a Sea Eagle, several Red Kites and Natalie Bennett (Green Party) with a shotgun and lots of cartridges, sharp knives, a means of cooking and adequate fresh water.
Then see who is the last mammal, bird or reptile standing. ( in case you were wondering, Chris Packham qualifies as a Reptile)

Can we promote the reintroduction of the wild Pushmepullyou?
A domesticated one seen here on a farm in the borders.

i have been TB testing today (over 550 cows and calves). Put me in a room with that lot with no weapons and i know who will come out alive. maybe leave the women out of it.

I don't normally watch reality TV but would make this an exception.:):)

"...add lynx to equation and the land will become an unmanaged wilderness that is no use to man or beast, domesticated or wild,” Macpherson 2015.
Surely these are the precise objectives of those attempting to 'rewild' our Isles? Sheep are perceived as being an ecological disaster by the proponents who wish to remove them and the people who have populated the landscape for generations by stealth without addressing the consequencies.
 
Last I heard, was they thought it may have 'gone wild' :rolleyes:

The one on the loose from Dartmoor zoo? Chewed its way out on the first night?

Still looking as of last night. A team of trackers laying cage traps baited with meat, night vision stuff and TV reporters. Meanwhile the 'wildlife' in the surrounding area has, they said, disappeared.
