Interesting reintroduction planned for specific areas, it's worked in some
other areas of Europe and we certainly need something to control the Deer.

Absolutely NOT.


Oh, definitely yes.

Prefered prey is deer of which there are far to many in the UK - because
there are no natural predators - causing all sorts of habitat
destruction.

Reintroduction of Lynx is already happening in large parts of Western
Europe and seems to be going fairly well.

Lynx would be a marvellous addition to many ecosystems.

What happens when they start eating people's small dogs and other pets?

Does not seem like a great idea to me. The accidental reintroduction of
boar in the Forest of Dean has not gone too well either.
