Muntjack Deer
Nick Maclaren wrote on Mon 21 Oct 2002 09:03:03a :
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. Actually Nick, AIUI, lynx are probably next on the list after beavers to get reintroduced. But if you want to get some 'natural' predators for muntjac, we ought to be introducing tigers and leopards into the Home Counties..... [although the reason we have Chinese muntjac and not Indian muntjac is because some Indian muntjac allegedly killed a duke's dog, so he made sure they were killed before they escaped....] |
