When rewilding goes wrong , (graphic image)

Not true. Lynx Trust are applying for specific licences to trial release Lynx in specific areas...

Outside of those specified areas, Lynx is still on the Dangerous Animals List

i was talking about french problem , i have no doubt licence or not most farmers would sort a bad outbreak one way or another

I don't know French laws so can't comment on their situation. I feel for them though... just glad there's no wolves here

It's a different kettle of fish surely, France itself is far bigger with more ' open space ' than here and that's without the rest of the Continent.

France is, without a doubt, a vast country.

Cwis gets loads of dead things nailed to his gate. I don’t think he’s the most popular bloke among New Forest commoners.

He hangs the dead crows up himself for attention

hmm perhaps if they were kept in the remote areas , i would say this area is as populated as the lake district , with a few biggish towns around , this protest was in charolles where they have had a particular issue just north of there

I wouldn't rule out any calibre....

Ant see as there would be much left if I used my .308 deer rifle? Bugger up any chance of a new hearth rug!

 

[Anymulewilldo]

your all missing the point , your not allowed to shoot anything , punitive fines and weight of law against you .

If you shot it with the tank there wouldn't be any evidence too use against you though...

Now you're thinking like a pro

Always wanted to have a go at blowing something up with a tank.



Where do I join the Lynx Trust? Or the nutters with the wolves. I'll have a crack at either! The spotter has too provide the brew flask though!

I tried to share some wolf attack videos from Facebook but I can’t get it to transfer over to here.

This is the video I was looking for last night

up to my eyes in it actually, dont know where to turn with the last of the h ay making breakdowns etc....ie far more productive things to do with my valuable time.

and anything that predates my sheep will be removed asap.

Could be a bit of a drive too ----
I agree with your removal policy too---it's my job to look after the welfare of my flock and that includes predators of any kind

I like how it’s timed so most people would be at work.....

perhaps the nfu will send someone up.

Question: What happens every time humans get involved with a wild area, and it goes 'wrong'?


Answer: Every species judged to be anything from merely 'inconvenient' upward is wiped out.

I will add to this that i don't begrudge any predator taking the odd lamb but my experience says that predators can sometimes want more than a few kills
The conflict (for me) comes when I need to protect my flock/income and am denied the right to do so when required ---and that doesn't mean after protracted applications for licenses , life in the field doesn't work like that
I don't even think that reintroduction of Lynx would be a disaster for the lamb industry but it could certainly have the potential to be very damaging to individual farms
Wolves in UK on the other hand seems to be bonkers

I think you're underestimating the impact lynx would have, if allowed to proliferate.
