But the aforementioned misbegotten and misgenated will have nothing to do with that .... Believe it or not, they are actually reintroducing wolves into parts of North America that have been wolf-less for a century or more. Oh, yes, and they have their own problems with idiots, too. Can I ship you a few cougars as an alternative deer-control predator? They seem to be having a minor population explosion of their own, perhaps thanks to the introduction onto Vancouver Island of rabbits and grey squirrels, both of which provide medium-small mammalian prey for cougars. ... As far as I am concerned, the experiment would be well worth while. However, the aforementioned UK idiots have made it illegal to introduce predators but not herbivores. Seriously :-( If I thought that unilateral action might work, I might not be dissuaded, but it wouldn't.
