I don't see the need for the re-introduction of species that have died
out from the UK, just because they used to be around decades or
centuries ago. Move on!

Agree.

Tell that to all the folk making a mint from the ornithological tourism
in
the Hebrides and West Highlands after the re-introduction of the white
tailed sea eagle.



Which is not quite the same as having lynx, is it? they will be a
perfect
nuisance around poultry and sheep. I say NO.


I've seen a white tailed sea eagle facing off with a ewe over a dead lamb.
Those birds aren't small.

and your point is?
There not room for lynxes (or wolves) to be reintroduced here and I just
wish people would stop banging on about it.
Yes once upon a time we had them, in the 17th century. i have enough
nuisance with foxes without lynxes or wolves being reintroduced.
