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.
Lynx are without doubt lovely creatures.
But if there is an excessive deer population, wouldn't it be better
for humans to eat them rather than import wild animals to do the job?
Venison is delicious and much more healthy than most farm animals.
and culling by a trained marksman is surely more humane that being
chased, brought down and gored to death by a lynx.
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!
